Polyglot (computing) Polyglot (computing) In computing, a polyglot is a computer program or script written in a valid form of multiple programming languages, which performs the same operations or output independent of the programming language used to compile or interpret it. Generally polyglots are written in a combination of C (which allows redefinition of tokens with a preprocessor) and a scripting language such as Lisp, Perl or sh. Polyglot markup is similar, but about markup language context. Polyglot persistence is similar, but about databases. The two most commonly used techniques for constructing a polyglot program are to make liberal use of languages
Who is a Jew? Jews see being Jewish as predominantly a matter of ancestry and culture, rather than religion. The definition of who is a Jew varies according to whether it is being considered by Jews on the basis of religious law and tradition or self-identification, or by non-Jews for other reasons, sometimes for prejudicial purposes.
