in reply to Trying to outgolf Python

Among the solutions I see some weird stuff like that 'Nekomata' 7 bytes. What is that???? I've never heard about Nekomata. I looked up what it is, and it doesn't seem to be a programming language. So, what is going on here? Can people come up with their own fiction languages? Hey, I'm going to submit my solution. It's only 2 bytes long: "I%" and it's written in "Chukumaka" language which I made up right now. I win! Lol

    Nice try, but you're gonna have to work a bit harder. :)

    As noted here, the HQ9+ Programming Language provides one byte solutions to a range of programming problems, including printing the entire lyrics of the 99 Bottles of Beer drinking song in an elegant one byte program: 9

      I'd say a real "programming language" should be Turing Complete.

      But there are indeed extensions listed, which at least claim to be. One even by allowing Perl, tho I think that's meant to be a joke referring to Perl's bad rep.

      Hmm... by using a source filter this shouldn't be to hard to achieve... hehe ;)
