I've been mulling over whether it might be possible to make an answer in machine code for a while. I haven't checked whether it is possible at all with the few starting bytes being fixed to what they are. This paper has some nice tables in it that will be useful if one of us tries that

also unlike in the paper, I think a com file or a non-x86 machine code might work, unlike their choice of using an exe file

anyway, that won't be my next answer, once I finish reading that paper i'll look through my language list to see which other laguage can be added

That's an exciting idea.

I think a literate coffeescript answer can be worked in, but there is an issue with the Coffeescript's string interpolation used in Octave's answer. I'm not sure it's possible to have string interpolation in literate Coffeescript, or at least I haven't figured it out yet.

@Chance I found no problems with string interpolation, just had to comment one of the lines in the 2L and put the octave commentish thing back how it was before. rest of the lanngs still broken.

also I think you had the file extension wrong .litcoffee, not .coffeelit

Heres a version that works in most languages besides the Kleins and some easy to fix langs

@Potato44 Well done. Rather than using the literal string, just place it all in a literate comment.

@Potato44 do you know what's broken with the Kleins? I'm super unfamiliar with them.

@Chance Because we added some new lines the instruction pointer doesn't run along the correct line

so we need to move either the line of the klein code or the poition of the reflector on line 1
