I need a software where I could write any programming language(many programming langauages) and compile it to run it

Compilers are language-specific - no universal compiler exists (or is ever likely to.)

The last computer model I absolutely know for a fact could handle most if not all programming languages then existing was a VAX 11/780, which ran its own assembler (MACRO-32), FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, C++, PL/1, ADA, and PASCAL. Which about covered it back in the early 1980s. Since then, compiler writers have tended to specialize. Therefore, since at least the late 1990s, this be-all and do-all platform doesn't really exist. (I wish it did.)



Based on the responses you are getting, I think you can see that you have asked a question that does not have much validity. Perhaps you need to study a bit more before you try this kind of question again. Perhaps you will be able to ask a more meaningful question next time. (No disrespect intended.)

Many developers use Linux though that is starting to change. It's cheap or free, comes with the Gnu Compiler Collection which out of the box usually compiles C C++ Fortran and ADA and can be extended to compile java, Pascal and with the GNUStep package Objective C. Python, Lua Ruby on Rails and so forth usually come with it and if you are willing to put up with Mono (which is lousy).



I use slackware, which is pretty well optimized for just about everything.

So you want something that doesn't exist? Some languages are platform specific (C# on Windows, Cocoa/Obj-C on Mac OS X, etc), and no single dev tool will work with them all. There are tools like Eclipse that have a variety of plugins you can use, but if you're looking for a swiss army knife, you aren't going to find it. Heck, even using Notepad and compiling in the command line will likely have limitations.

If such a thing existed, we wouldnt need 20 odd programming languages would we?!?!

What the hell are you saying? This type of software is not existed and creating it is almost impossible.

why don't you use .net.

In .net we can use any programming language like C, C++, Java, ...

It has CLR(Common Language Runtime) which can run any language .
