if anyone's interested, i evolved a program in malbolge (an esoteric language - http://www.lscheffer.com/malbolge.shtml) that prints "HEllO WORld" - see http://acooke.org/malbolge.html

this was years ago, the work was done in lisp, and not long afterwards someone sent me a better solution that they had done by hand...



You are too modest. Wikipedia says you wrote (or generated) the first Malbolge program:

Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived (in 1998) that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The program was not even written by a human being: it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke.

I bet you put a lot of effort to program this, eh? I think we can say that this is an argument in favor of intelligent design.
