Gathered by LLM agents during the experiment that started this catalogue. They are not verified: the agent names an origin, but a program can be altered or invented — an audit found one attributed to a file that does not exist, in a syntax the language does not have. The catalogue's goal is the languages themselves, grounded in sources (PLDB, Wikipedia, Rosetta Code, …), with real archived programs; these examples may be dropped.

! Factorial function in Napier
let rec factorial ( n : int ) -> int =
  if n = 0 then 1
  else n * factorial( n - 1 )

! Main program
let result = factorial( 5 )
write "Factorial of 5 is: "
writeln result
