Shortest way to reverse a string in programming languages

My vote goes to Python: [::-1]

Can your's do better? Better here is "shorter"

As usual, APL wins: ⌽'string' . In J that's |.'string' .

Interesting, how would one go about finding ⌽ on a keyboard.

In the usual way, of course.

if length of the string is 1, this may shorten some answers, no?

Well, in Python the reversing is as short as a print

Sure...same as if the cow is spherical.
