The most complicated "hello world" program in a single line

How it was made

First, I went through all the characters in "hello world" and used ord to find their numerical values. Using the argcount of a bunch of lambdas, I got a list of numbers 1 through 7. Using that list, I simply did some maths to get the numbers and printed them as ascii using chr.

I wrapped this in a couple lambdas using globals().update to set variables inline (repl.it recently updated to python 3.8 so I could have used the := operator however it appears not to work in list comprehension) and bam.

(ignore the syntax errors, it still runs)

Try it online!

@sugarfi jeeeeez now that's crazy

@MarcusWeinberger yes

oh no

such verbose

while True and "verbose is verbose" and "this is as verbose as I can get":
  votes = int(str(votes + 0 + 1))
  magic = int(str(magic + 1 + 0))

This is too good. And it's in exactly 555 chars :D

And I noticed something else: 555 chars in the code, and 5 upvotes for first comment, 5 for the second one, and 5 for the third! This post is all about fives. @SixBeeps

@CodeABC123 Too bad my name exists

And the first time I looked at your reply, it was posted 5 seconds ago! @SixBeeps

lol!!! @CodeABC123

Oh boy, that's like reverse code golf. I love it

@enigma_dev code bowling

Generally, it's supposed to be "Hello world!", so it's missing a capital H, and an exclamation mark, "!"

“Code was built to be efficient and sleek. so let’s go in the exact opposite direction!”
(This really cool omg)

im a cool kid

no i am

No exclamation mark, 0/10

You should try Brainf.

@lungera whats that?

@Thecrowbar1234 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

im so gonna do this

@LiamDonohue let me know how it goes!

nice but overcomplicated.. Like my life!

takes a while to load

@AaravKyparlis that's strange, for me, it's almost instant

@MarcusWeinberger I probably have a laggy computer

at least this actually makes sense

@AdCharity You still remember don't you?

@Thecrowbar1234 that's the point

i really dont know what to say...
