On: Hello world in every programming language

[reitzensteinm]

I remember reading that the Malbolge author was 'working' on a Hello World program, and thought that was awesome. Now I see why:

I wonder if it was written by hand; that would be impressive. Doesn't look like it would be too hard to hand roll a little compiler for it.

At least the first one wasn't made by hand. It was created by a stochastic beam search program written it Common Lisp.

And if I recall correctly, it took years to do.

OK, rereading the specs, I completely take back what I said about handrolling a compiler not being difficult. Damn.

It was created using a genetic algorithm IIRC.

I think my head just exploded.
