Create a chain of spam generators in as many languages as possible The goal of a rosetta-stone challenge is to write solutions in as many languages as possible. Show off your programming multilingualism!

In this challenge, you will create a program that will generate spam messages, given an input seed-text. For example, given the input

[Thank you/Wow/Great], this [blog/post/writing] [gives/provides/delivers] [great/excellent/wonderful/superior] [content/information/data]. You [may/could] [find/get/retrieve] [similar/related] [content/information/data] at spammysite.com.


A possible output could be

Thank you, this writing delivers excellent data. You may find similar content at spammysite.com.


(idea from https://security.stackexchange.com/q/37436/29804)

There's a catch, though! You will also have to output a program in a different language. This program, when run, will also output the spam text and a program in a different language, which will also output the spam text and a program in a different language...

Your score will be character count / (number of languages ^ 2).

For example, I could have a Ruby program. It would take the input seed-text as input, and output the random spam text and a Python program.

Running this Python program (with no input), it would output another random spam text and a Perl program.

Running this Perl program (no input), it would output another random spam text.

In this example, my score would be the length of the original Ruby program divided by 9 (I have 3 languages, and 3 ^ 2 is 9).

Other miscellaneous things:


You must use at least 2 different programming languages.
Please list each program that is output. This way if someone doesn't have all of the languages, they can still see their sources. You may use this short example text: [Please/Kindly] [visit/see] my [site/blog]., or you may just use a placeholder (like {insert text here}).
You may assume that there will be no non-alphanumeric characters except []/.,, to simplify some things.
Different versions of languages do not count as different languages (ex. Python 2 == Python 3).
It must be fully random, i.e. not predictable and outputting a different combination every run. It must also be able to output every combination in an arbitrary amount of runs.
Since this is code-golf as well as rosetta-stone, the shortest overall score (charcount / (langs ^ 2)) will win.
PHP 5.5 -> Ruby 2.0 -> Python 2.7 -> Lua -> C# -> Java -> PdfTeX -> GolfScript 855 / 8^2 = 13.359375

The main ideas were:


Instead of actually creating the logic to create the n+1th language in all programming languages do this only one time, and only use the basic random and stdout writing facilities of each programming language
To shorten the template generator, just compress it with zLib. Make this generator the second language
Use PHP as the first language, as it has built-in zLib decompressor


So the initial code is:

&lt;?php $x=file_get_contents("php://stdin");echo preg_replace_callback("/\[(.*?)\]/",function($m){$r=explode("/",$m[1]);return $r[array_rand($r)];},$x).gzuncompress("BINARY_DATA")."__END__\n".$x;


Where BINARY_DATA is the gzcompressed version of the template generator (e.g. the result of the php code, which is the ruby version)

The complete initial code in base64 (should be 855 bytes after decoding):

Notes


It seems PHP is quite forgiving with binary data in string literals, except for hex codes AF and 96. Don't ask why.
I could've probably added perl and C++11 code as well easily (as they both support raw string literals), but 8 is a more round number than 10 :)
The distribution of values is not uniform, as the first element comes more often than later ones. According to comments this should be okay.
The initial code was actually generated using the following PHP 5.5 code. orig.rb is actually the same as the Ruby code without the footer (__END__ and the appended data afterwards)


generator.php:

&lt;?php
$d=file_get_contents('orig.rb');
$dc = gzcompress($d,9);
echo '&lt;?php $x=file_get_contents("php://stdin");echo preg_replace_callback("/\\[(.*?)\\]/",function($m){$r=explode("/",$m[1]);return $r[array_rand($r)];},$x)';
?&gt;&lt;?php
echo ".gzuncompress(\"";
for ($i=0;$i&lt;strlen($dc);$i++) {
  switch($dc[$i]) {
  case '"':
    echo "\\\"";break;
  case "\n":
    echo "\\n";break;
  case '\\':
    echo "\\\\";break;
  case "\x00":case "\xaf":case "\x96":
    echo sprintf("\\x%02x",ord($dc[$i]));
    break;
  default:
    echo $dc[$i];
  }
}
echo "\").\"__END__\\n\".\$x;";


(you can potentially use this code to zLib encompress PHP solutions for other challenges)
