::::: I wonder if the Tcl version is too much of a cheat. I just took the above text and compressed and encoded it, then wrapped a trivial decoder around it. Still, a fun little solution that obeys the challenge in a different way. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 19:12, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
::::: Compression is the most obvious way to utilize repeatitions of strings, so it's fine in my book (C code does compression, only with a crude home made compression scheme because it was more fun to me). --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 23:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
:::::: Really, only the (Un)Icon, J, Forth and PHP examples really approach it from the direction I had in mind (specifically using the verse and repetitive semantic structure). That said, the C, D and Tcl examples are wonderful examples of compression, and I think they make for interesting directions, too. My intent was for this example to be in the spirit of [[99 Bottles of Beer]], with a variety of possible approaches taken. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 01:43, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
