::::: 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)
::::::: But surely decompression by another ''external'' program leaves too little for the task to be ''solved'' by a particular language (as was the case in Perl - now changed)? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 04:19, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
