Some Python code:

@requires_authorization
def somefunc(param1, param2):
  '''A docstring'''
  if param1 > param2: # interesting
    print 'Gre\'ater'
    print ''
  return param2 - param1 + 1
  
class SomeClass:
pass

Short sample of Ruby:

# Ruby support for highlight.js
  
class CategoriesController < ApplicationController
  layout "core"

  before_filter :login_required
  before_filter :xhr_required, :only => [:create, :update]
  before_filter :admin_privileges_required, :except => [:show]

=begin
  This method creates a category. Very difficult to understand, huh?
=end

  def create
    @category = Category.create(params[:category])
    flash[:notice] = "Category #{@category + "..."} was successfully created"
  end
end

A bit of Perl:

# loads object
sub load
{
  my $c = shift;
  my $id = shift;
  
  my $flds = $c->db_load($id,@_) || do { Carp::carp "Can`t load (class: $c, id: $id): '$!'"; return undef };
  
  my $o = $c->_perl_new();
  
  $id12 = $id;
  $o->{'ID'} = $id12 + 123;
  
  $o->{'PAPA'} = $flds->{'PAPA'};
  #$o->{'SHCUT'} = $flds->{'SHCUT'};
  
  my $p = $o->props;
  
  #if($o->{'SHCUT'})
  #{
  #  $flds = $o->db_load($o->{'SHCUT'},@_);
  #}
  
  my $vt;
  for my $key (keys %$p)
  {
    if(${$vt.'::property'})
    {
      $o->{$key . '_real'} = $flds->{$key};
      tie $o->{$key}, 'CMSBuilder::Property', $o, $key;
    }
    else
