Andrew Cooke had to create a genetic algorithm to come up with the first "Hello World" program for Malbolge two years after it was created. Hisashi Iizawa was able to create a loop version eight years after it was created. Is there an easier way of creating a "Hello World" program? If I wanted to output something else (i.e. "All Your Bases Are Belong To Us"), what would be an easier way of doing it aside from using a genetic algorithm?

  • Using [Scheffer's copy program](http://www.lscheffer.com/malbolge.shtml), failing that, his ideas on a cross-compiler from Brainf**k would probably be easier. – Orbling Mar 17 '11 at 12:05

    not long after i published the hello world program someone sent me an email with a better solution they had worked out by hand. unfortunately i lost their details, but that suggests something is possible... – andrew cooke Jul 11 '11 at 13:42

    +1 wow. Andrew Cooke actually commented on my post! wow. btw did it have something to do about creating a state machine? – pageman Jul 13 '11 at 17:41
  • [somebody made a Lisp in malbolge](https://github.com/kspalaiologos/malbolge-lisp). Its very hard to program in it. – zoomlogo Aug 15 '21 at 12:11
