gollark: If you want maximum efficiency and have no concern for practical human use, just take English, run it through a good compression algorithm, and encode it as syllables somehow.
gollark: It wouldn't be very good to *speak* that, because of low noise resistance.
gollark: It annoys me that nobody unironically uses machine-parseable languages, so you have to use either horrible regices or giant machine learning models to do natural language processing.
gollark: * 128 possible values, or 7 bits
gollark: This is obviously the best language possible.
