Initial Query

Write a single file that I can save as foo.py.rs that I can run as either a rust program or a python program, and so both will print "hello world". Specifically if I run `python foo.py.rs` or `rustc -o a.out foo.py.rs && ./a.out` I should see "hello world" printed to the console. To help you out, here's a valid answer for how to do this in C:

Output

Okay, here is a single file `foo.py.rs` that leverages Rust's block comments (`/* ... */`) and Python's `exit()` function to achieve the desired polyglot behavior.

**Explanation:** 1. **Python Execution (`python foo.py.rs`):** * Python starts executing from the top. * It ignores the shebang (`#!/usr/bin/env python3`) and encoding lines. * It executes `print("hello world")`. * It executes `import sys; sys.exit()`, which terminates the Python script immediately. * Python never parses or executes the Rust code (`fn main...`) or the Rust block comment (`/* ... */`) that follows. 2. **Rust Compilation & Execution (`rustc -o a.out foo.py.rs && ./a.out`):** * The Rust compiler (`rustc`) starts parsing from the top. * It ignores shebangs and Python encoding comments (`# -*- ...`). * It encounters the Rust block comment starting with `/*` (around line 15 in the example). * It skips everything inside the block comment, which includes all the Python code and the initial descriptive comments. * The block comment ends with `*/` (around line 30). * The compiler then sees the Rust code: `fn main() { println!("hello world"); }`. * It successfully compiles this Rust code. * Running the resulting executable (`./a.out`) prints "hello world". This approach cleanly separates the execution paths for both languages using standard features: Python's `exit()` and Rust's block comments.
