Write the longest program that prints the date of tomorrow

Question

I would like to propose a new kind of challenge: Anti Code Golf! (as anti-golf, not anti-code). The idea is to write the longest program you can write to do something.

That would be Code Bowling, as pointed out by ProgramFOX.

Rules

• No ridiculously unnecessary whitespace (e.g. 3 lines between each statement, etc. indentation is OK, just don't overuse).

• Score is awarded by number of bytes used to work * (in source code, input data or output data) memory usage doesn't count.

• Highest score wins. In the event of a tie, most upvoted wins. In the event of a voting tie a randomly chosen answer wins.

• You may not read from a external resource, such as a file or web service, except (when possible) the program's own source code and/or a file/service provided by the program itself.

• The program must run in a reasonable time (< 5 minutes) except where otherwise specified.

.* Comments do not count for length.

---

Now, onto the challenge itself:

Write a program that prints the full date of tomorrow to stdout (or equivalent) in ASCII encoding. It may or not receive any arguments, but the current date must not be input directly by the user.

Answer 1

C# - ~500Kb -

Don't you love nested if's? Used to work only for 2014 dates, but successfully refactored to work for any date :)

Cannot post code here, I just receive an error...

Answer 2

JavaScript, 2015 chars (all reasonably useful)

I believe this is in the spirit of the question. ;)

Based on one of my previous answers

// we all know that OOP == good
function TomorrowManager() {
    // constants == good too
    this.values = {
        ERROR: 1, // value on error
        UNINITIALIZED:  2, // value when not initialized yet
        OK: 0 // desired value
    }
    this.consts = {
        HOURS_IN_DAY: 24,
        MINUTES_IN_HOUR: 60,
        SECONDS_IN_MINUTE: 60,
        MILLISECONDS_IN_SECOND: 1000
    }
    this.value = this.values.UNINITIALIZED
}
TomorrowManager.prototype.setValue = function(num) {
    if (typeof num !== 'number') throw new Error('cannot set value to non-number')
    if (!this.value) this.value = this.values.ERROR // oh noes
    else this.value = num
}
// initialize the value
TomorrowManager.prototype.initialize = function() {
    this.setValue(this.values.OK) // set the value to ONE
    return true // return true for success
}
// get the value
TomorrowManager.prototype.getValue = function() {
    if (this.value == this.values.ERROR) { // if the value is ERROR
        throw new Error('value not initialized')
    } else return this.value // return the value
}
TomorrowManager.prototype.getTomorrow = function() {
    return new Date(new Date().getTime() + this.consts.HOURS_IN_DAY * this.consts.MINUTES_IN_HOUR * this.consts.SECONDS_IN_MINUTE * this.consts.MILLISECONDS_IN_SECOND)
}

function TomorrowManagerFactory() {}
TomorrowManagerFactory.prototype.getTomorrowManager = function() {
    return new TomorrowManager()
}

function getTomorrow() {
    var m = new TomorrowManagerFactory().getTomorrowManager() // make a TomorrowManager
    var success = m.initialize() // initialize the value
    if (success) {
        if (m.getValue() === m.values.OK) {
            return m.getTomorrow()
        } else {
            throw new Error('bad value')
        }
    }
    else {
        // there was an error in the initialization
        var retVal = m.values.ERROR // we will return an error
        delete m // maybe it's corrupted
        throw new Error('corrupted TomorrowManager')
        return retVal // return an error in case the throw didn't work
    }
}

alert(getTomorrow())

Answer 4

C#: 33,053 characters

I had to post the code on Pastebin because it was too long to post here in an answer:
http://pastebin.com/SwwB30Jy

How it works: the byte array actually contains the following code:

using System;namespace GetDateOfTomorrow{public static class Tomorrow{public static string GetDateOfTomorrow(){ return DateTime.Today.AddDays(1).ToShortDateString();}}}

Then, you compile that code to a new assembly and execute the GetDateOfTomorrow() method.

Mathematica 958

The following returns tomorrow's date, including the day of week.

date = "Date";
command1 = ToExpression[date <> ToString[Head["Calendar"]]]
ClearAll[a, b, c, d]
TreeForm[a + b^2 + c^3 + d]
command2 = ToExpression[date <> ToString[Part[%, 0]]]
months = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", 
  "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"}
command3 = ToExpression[date <> ToString[Head[months]]]
daysOfTheWeek = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", 
  "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"} 
days = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,
    19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31};
command4 = 
 ToExpression[
  StringJoin[
   Take[Characters[
      Part[daysOfTheWeek[[RandomInteger[{1, 7}]]]]], -3] /. {char1_, 
      char2_, char3_} :> 
     StringJoin["", {ToUpperCase[char1], char2, char3}], 
   ToString[Head[days]]]]
AstrologicalSigns = {"Aries", "Taurus", "Gemini", "Cancer", "Leo", 
  "Virgo", "Libra", "Scorpio", "Sagittarius", "Capricorn", "Aquarius",
   "Pisces"}

Testing

command1[command2[command3[TimeZone -> $TimeZone], 
  Fibonacci[7] - Length[AstrologicalSigns]], {"DayName", ", ", 
  "MonthName", " ", "Day", ", ", "Year"}]
