I think a better Python version would be

    print '\n'.join(['Hello world'] * 100)

No need for exec.

I wonder why 430gj9j added exec..

  print "Hello world\n"*100

Would have worked just fine.

He abstracted this loop:

    for i in xrange(100):
        statement

into:

   exec "statement" * 100

The 'no exec' alternatives propose something not as generic since they can only print something a number of times.

Or just

    print "Hello, World\n" * 100

No need for join either, and ends with a newline
