Print all the numbers! (At least, as many as possible.)

Question

Your task is to print a number. Simple, right? It is simple, but not as simple as this. The first answer is to print the number 1, the second answer is to print the number 2, etc.

Rules

1. The first answer must print 1, and the nth answer must print n.
2. The first answer may be of any length.
3. Whitespace, comments, etc. are permitted.
4. The next answer's submission's length must within 1 unit of the previous answer's length. That is, if a submissions length is L, the next submission must be of length L + 1 or L - 1. The length is measured in characters, not bytes.
5. No language may be used more than once.
6. No person may answer earlier than eight hours after their most recent answer.
7. No person may answer twice in a row.
8. You may not use a REPL environment.

To win, you must have the most valid answers to this question. You may use a language updated after/ made later than this challenge so long as the language was not intended to answer this challenge.
