Default PolyglotBSD by Brian Callahan

From https://www.bsdcan.org/events/bsdcan...6-polyglotbsd/
Quote:
When you install a *BSD, you are given all the tools needed to rebuild the entire base system out of the box. This also means you have the tools to create more software without any external packages. This helps make the BSDs a prime development platform.

Despite this, there are many other programming languages out there, some of which are even used in production! Having access to those languages provides a double benefit: 1) it opens up the richness of programming language research and implementation to all interested *BSD users; and, 2) it opens up the BSDs to aficionados of these languages.

Come follow my never-ending quest to port every known compiler to OpenBSD. We will explore some languages you know, some you don't, and discover the tricks necessary to bring up compiler system support to new platforms. We will learn how to be a good member of the language community, how to represent well your *BSD to a language community, and how you can even accidentally end up with your name buried in the GCC source tree!

I usually do the odd bug report but i don't have the confidence to supply patches, don't want to accidentally paint the OpenBSD community as incompetent. Maybe in the future.

Thanks Brian, impressive effort.
