C#

Running C# 10 on .NET 6.0.16

You can define multiple classes but one of them should have a static void

Our VB.NET environment runs on top of the mono project’s implementation of the .NET runtime.

You can define multiple classes but one of them should have a Public Shared Sub Main().

Objective-C

Running GCC 5.5

Since we don’t run Objective-C natively on OS X. We run it using GCC. Your code is compiled with:
gcc -I/usr/include/GNUstep -L/usr/lib/GNUstep -lobjc -lgnustep-base -Wall

We know this is not a perfect way to do it so we are open to any suggestions on how to run Obj-C better.

Perl

Running Perl 5.22

Nothing to explain, it should probably work

Erlang

Running Erlang 19

Your solution should define the module as solution and export a method named start, like this:

-module(solution).
-export([start/0]).
                        
start() ->
  io:fwrite("Hello").

You must define the module as Solution with a method named start, like this:

Code.compiler_options(ignore_module_conflict: true
defmodule Solution do
  def start() do

  end
end

Also notice the first line Code.compiler_options(ignore_module_conflict: true) which is needed by our system to work.
