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.

-- Simple identity function in Simplicity
-- Takes a unit value and returns it
iden : 1 |- 1
iden = iden

-- Pair construction example
pair : A * B |- A * B
pair = iden

-- Unit constant
unit : A |- 1
unit = unit

-- Simple addition with witness data
-- This checks a signature witness
witness : 1 |- 2^256
witness = witness
