    \$\begingroup\$ I don't know Befunge nor Seed, but is there a reason both you and @feersum use the Befunge-98 program "9!dlroW ,olleH"ck,@ (20 bytes)? Won't the Befunge-98 Hello World answer posted here: "ck,@!dlroW ,olleH (which is 18 bytes) result in a shorter Seed program as well? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 8:06

    \$\begingroup\$ Also, the shorter befunge solution is incorrect - it starts with a leading space and no excalamation mark. To fix these issues, the program would be 19 bytes big - that's as much as the no-9 solution I've been working on. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 14:12

    \$\begingroup\$ > Seed uses Pyfunge - no, it doesn't. The specification doesn't mention what kind of interpreter can be used to execute the resulting code. It only happens so that TIO is utilizing PyFunge. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 24, 2020 at 10:52

    \$\begingroup\$ I'm not calling for it to be deleted, but the first version is invalid. The implementation you are using does not print the correct string (and on CGCC implementations are the definitions of languages), and I don't know of any other implementations of Seed that print correctly (though one would be trivial to create). Even if you wanted to go by the pure language specification of Seed and Befunge (though I note the Seed esolang page never mentions which version of Befunge, 93, 98 or the unappreciated 97), your shorter version would still produce the leading space. Forgive my pedantary \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 3, 2020 at 13:41
