JQuery is not a programming language, it's a JS library.

I love the idea. Sad how unknown Basic is! It's still the only language I can really write in (in two different varieties, if I might make the most pointless boast ever).

What is that Java code? It’s making my eyes bleed. You could just do System.out.print(“Hello World!”);

Fun quiz but you should use the standard output for each langage (in particular for Java), and jQuery isn't a language, it's a JS library. You should accept TypeScript for JavaScript too since valid JS is valid TS.
