Re: Christmas felicitations, 2006 update

I remember this from last year. There's Perl, C, and C++. As for the fourth language, is it still plain TeX, or have you changed it to LaTeX? I don't remember enough of it to tell myself, I'm afraid. Merry Christmas, by the way.

It must be plain TeX since there's no reference to `\documentclass`.	[reply] [d/l]

The proper reason why it cannot be LaTeX is that the file starts with typesettable letters (`int`), and LaTeX doesn't allow typesettable letters before `\begin{document}`. Actually it is plain TeX. What has changed since 2005: rot13-encryption of the plain TeX part (so it is no longer obvious which poem it prints), and the long initial string of the C/C++ part is made more compact, especially the `#define q` line.
