Sierpinski triangle
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Produce an ASCII representation of a Sierpinski triangle of order N.
- Example
The Sierpinski triangle of order 4 should look like this:
*

Note: The total height of the triangle is 2 * parameter length. It should be power of two so that the pattern matches evenly with the character cells. Value 16 will thus create pattern of 32 lines.

Befunge
This is a version of the cellular automaton (rule 90) construction. The order, N, is specified by the first number on the stack. It uses a single line of the playfield for the cell buffer, so the upper limit for N should be 5 on a standard Befunge-93 implementation. Interpreters with poor memory handling may not work with anything over 3, though, and a Befunge-98 interpreter should theoretically be unlimited.

Common Lisp
(defun print-sierpinski (order)
(loop with size = (expt 2 order)
repeat size
for v = (expt 2 (1- size)) then (logxor (ash v -1) (ash v 1))
do (fresh-line)
(loop for i below (integer-length v)
do (princ (if (logbitp i v) "*" " ")))))
Printing each row could also be done by printing the integer in base 2 and replacing zeroes with spaces: (princ (substitute #\Space #\0 (format nil "~%~2,vR" (1- (* 2 size)) v)))
Replacing the iteration with for v = 1 then (logxor v (ash v 1)) produces a "right" triangle instead of an "equilateral" one.
Alternate approach:
(defun sierpinski (n)
(if (= n 0) '("*")
(nconc (mapcar (lambda (e) (format nil "~A~A~0@*~A" (make-string (expt 2 (1- n)) :initial-element #\ ) e)) (sierpinski (1- n)))
(mapcar (lambda (e) (format nil "~A ~A" e e)) (sierpinski (1- n))))))

Fortran
This method calculates a Pascal's triangle and replaces every odd number with a * and every even number with a space. The limitation of this approach is the size of the numbers in the Pascal's triangle. Tryng to print an order 8 Sierpinski's triangle will overflow a 32 bit integer and an order 16 will overflow a 64 bit integer.

There are any number of succinct ways to produce this in J. Here's one that exploits self-similarity:
|. _31]\ ,(,.~ , ])^:4 ,: '* '
Here, (,.~ , ])^:4 ,: '* ' is the basic structure (with 4 iterations) and the rest of it is just formatting.
Here's one that leverages the relationship between Sierpinski's and Pascal's triangles:
' *' {~ '1' = (- |."_1 [: ": 2 | !/~) i._16
Here, !/~ i._16 gives us pascal's triangle (and we want a power of 2 (or, for the formatting we are using here a negative of a power of 2) for the size of the square in which contains the triangle, and (2 + |/~) i._16 is a boolean representation where the 1s correspond to odd values in pascal's triangle, and the rest is just formatting.
(Aside: it's popular to say that booleans are not integers, but this is a false representation of George Boole's work.)

// reduces to a rule from 2 parent characters

// Rule 90 also reduces to the same XOR

triangle(4)Vedit macro language
Iterative
The macro writes the fractal into an edit buffer where it can be viewed and saved to file if required. This allows creating images larger than screen, the size is only limited by free disk space.
#3 = 16 // size (height) of the triangle
Buf_Switch(Buf_Free) // Open a new buffer for output
Ins_Char(' ', COUNT, #3*2+2) // fill first line with spaces
Ins_Newline
Line(-1) Goto_Col(#3)
Ins_Char('*', OVERWRITE) // the top of triangle
for (#10=0; #10 < #3-1; #10++) {
BOL Reg_Copy(9,1) Reg_Ins(9) // duplicate the line
#20 = '*'
for (#11 = #3-#10; #11 < #3+#10+1; #11++) {
Goto_Col(#11-1)
if (Cur_Char==Cur_Char(2)) { #21=' ' } else { #21='*' }
Ins_Char(#20, OVERWRITE)
#20 = #21
}
Ins_Char(#21, OVERWRITE)
Ins_Char('*', OVERWRITE)
}Recursive
Vedit macro language does not have recursive functions, so some pushing and popping is needed to implement recursion.
#1 = 1 // x
#2 = 1 // y
#3 = 16 // length (height of the triangle / 2)
#4 = 5 // depth of recursion
Buf_Switch(Buf_Free) // Open a new buffer for output
Ins_Newline(#3*2) // Create as many empty lines as needed
Call("Triangle") // Draw the triangle
BOF
Return
:Triangle:
if (#4 == 0) {
Goto_Line(#2)
EOL Ins_Char(' ', COUNT, #1-Cur_Col+1) // add spaces if needed
