Looking at this from the other side, if a non-mathematician "solves an interesting problem", is there a recommended way to make the solution public? Something better than posting t…

What are your thoughts on Crystal [1], Nim [2] or even Go [3]? [1] https://crystal-lang.org [2] https://nim-lang.org [3] https://golang.org

Offical NES games were between 24KB (e.g. Excitebike) and 768KB (Kirby's Adventure) in size. The Japanese Famicom even had a 16KB game (Galaxian).
