What’s your preferred Hello world language? I’m gunna test this out. The more complex the code you need, the more they suck, but I’ll be amazed if it doesn’t work first try to simply print hello world.

    Malbolge is a fun one

    Edit: Funny enough, ChatGPT fails to get this right, even with the answer right there on Wikipedia. When I tried running ChatGPT's output the first few characters were correct but it errors with invalid char at 37

    Cheeky, I love it.

    Got correct code first try. Failed creating working docker first try. Second try worked.

    tmp="$(mktemp)"; cat >"$tmp" <<'MBEOF'
('&%:9]!~}|z2Vxwv-,POqponl$Hjig%eB@@>}=<M:9wv6WsU2T|nm-,jcL(I&%$#"
`CB]V?Tx<uVtT`Rpo3NlF.Jh++FdbCBA@?]!~|4XzyTT43Qsqq(Lnmkj"Fhg${z@>
MBEOF
docker run --rm -v "$tmp":/code/hello.mb:ro esolang/malbolge malbolge /code/hello.mb; rm "$tmp"

    Output: Hello World!

    I'm actually slightly impressed it got both a working program, and a different one than Wikipedia. The Wikipedia one prints "Hello, world."

    I guess there must be another program floating around the web with "Hello World!", since there's no chance the LLM figured it out on its own (it kinda requires specialized algorithms to do anything)
