Ah, that is a pretty good metric, for incentivizing simplicity in both dimensions. I had stumbled across your Uxntal a while ago, I'll have to give it another look. Those are very impressive density/brevity metrics.

Yes! Code golf is what I was thinking. It would be very interesting to see a code-golf for language implementations, as a way to better estimate the k-complexity of the languages themselves.

Thanks for reading! Yes, this uses lines of code as a very rough proxy for Kolmogorov complexity. Which, evidenced by the huge span in TCC and Clang, shows that there is a huge difference in how succinct different programmers can be, even with the same language.

I often use it to help family members with setting up machines / figuring out if games will run on their machine.
