Program a golf-programmer

A code-challenge question to write a program which produces the shortest program in a simple language. The winner may be decided by the total length of the output of the program against some existing tasks. There might be some upper limit on the length of the program.

We only consider output-only tasks (kolmogorov-complexity plus some printing challenges with restricted-source), since it is too complex to consider problems which takes input.

Input to the program is the expected output of the tasks, and the set of allowed character in the task.

Some candidates for the target language: Brainfuck, Insomnia, oOo CODE, ...

• Brainfuck seems to have been used here Brainf*** Golfer, though I don't know if it would be more interesting when we limit the set of programs to those which only outputs.
• Insomnia, from my own experience, is quite fun, since it resets the bit pointer when you move the group pointer.
• (Don't know about other languages... Suggestions?)

Some candidates for the goals of the challenges:

• Say Hello to the Pioneers of Computer Science
• DISARM THE B.O.M.B.!
• [...]

(I have implemented a program which performs searches to write program in Insomnia, so I think it might be interesting to make this a challenge).
