What you need to do:
Print “Hello World!” to STDOUT without quotes.
-50% bonus if you don't have " or ' in your code
The language has to be turing complete.
Do it in shortest bytes.
(Example reply:
[b][big]Language, N bytes[/big][/b]
[code]code[/code]
Shows as:
Language, N bytes
code
)

Scoreboard

I figured a lot of languages had a 15-byte solution

I know the CJam interpreter (http://cjam.aditsu.net )

How about something more complicated? :p
It's pretty easy to write a short hello world program!

+1. I'd like to see someone do Hello World in base 36.

At first, I thought we were supposed to write a Hello World program without using quotes (in the code).

Why don't we do try writing a quote-less program?

*Looks up the for-each loop syntax*
public class X{public static void main(String[]a){char[]b={72,101,108,108,111,32,87,111,114,108,100,33};for(char i:b)System.out.print(i);}}
^^100% quote-free!

May we have a quote-less code competition?

I would imagine such a contest as being no single nor double quotes.

tbh I didn't even know this would work
