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 NQP
sub factorial($n) {
    if $n <= 1 {
        return 1;
    }
    else {
        return $n * factorial($n - 1);
    }
}

# Print factorials from 1 to 10
for (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) -> $i {
    say("Factorial of $i is " ~ factorial($i));
