Golfing Relay Race

My first time for that kind of challenge:

R > Julia > BrainF**k - 91 characters - Score: 30.33

The initial R code:

cat("'+'^8","\"[>\"","'+'^9","'>'","'+'^13","'>'","'+'^4","'<'^3","\"-]>.>+.>+.\"",sep="*")

It produces the following Julia code:

'+'^8*"[>"*'+'^9*'>'*'+'^13*'>'*'+'^4*'<'^3*"-]>.>+.>+."

Which produces:

++++++++[>+++++++++>++++++++++++++>++++<<<-]>.>+.>+.

which equates to:

Hi!

in BrainF**k.

NB: None of the three programs is valid in any of the two other languages.


Clojure → C → Python 2.7 → BASIC → Bash

Score: 13.40

(println"int main(){puts(\"print'PRINT\\\"echo\\\"'\");return 0;}")

Here is the breakdown:

  1. Clojure

    (println"int main(){puts(\"print'PRINT\\\"echo\\\"'\");return 0;}")
    
  2. C

    int main(){puts("print'PRINT\"echo\"'");return 0;}
    
  3. Python 2.7

    print'PRINT"echo"'
    
  4. BASIC

    PRINT"echo"
    
  5. Bash

    echo
    

I guess a simpler alternative would be

print'echo'

in Python 2.7, which outputs Bash code. This has a score of 5.5, but isn't as fancy as what's above.
