Many languages require surprisingly few characters to run arbitrary code, so I expect there's not much interesting room for specific programs that use fewer characters than needed for that. | |

"Interesting" could mean anything, and you'd have to argue with several people over whether their ignore-input-and-print-0 program counts as interesting before the challenge is closed as too broad or unclear. [popularity-contest] is also a dangerous tag, in that it's very hard to do well and has fallen out of favor long ago. This extends to all scoring systems that involve votes. | |
