Enterprise Quality Code!
TL;DR
- Answers will consist of a full program (of length < 30k) prints the the first N Prime numbers (as a base 10 representation without leading zeros unless the chosen language only supports unary or other based output) separated by newlines (optional trailing linefeed).
- You may post cracks at any time, but you must wait one hour after posting each initial bowled submission
- Leading or trailing whitespace is not acceptable (except for the trailing newline)
- An answer's score is the number of bytes in the answer. A user's score is the total number of bytes of all uncracked answers.
- An answer gets cracked when another user posts an answer (in the same language) which is a permutation of any subset of the characters used in the original answer.
- The user with the highest score will receive an accepted tick mark on his /her highest scoring post (although it doesnt really matter which specific post gets the tick)
The Inspiration for this challenge
At Pretty Good consultants there is a focus on writing "quality" verbose code that is sufficiently engineered. Your boss has decided to test you on your skills.
Consider the set of all programming languages in existence before the posting of this challenge. For this challenge there will technically be one individual "winner" in each language, however the boss will give a
Detailed Spec
The goal of this challenge is to receive an integer N strictly smaller than 2^8-1 and print the first N prime numbers (in less than 24 hours) separated by your platforms choice of new line (a trailing newline is optional). OEIS sequence A000040 in as many bytes as possible in as many languages as possible. However, note that others vying for the promotion will try to "help" you by golfing down your score. (Please note that your prime generation function should theoretically work for integer N inputs strictly smaller than 2^16-1 given enough time, the bounds for N have been reduced after realizing how slow some interpreters are (namely mine) hardcoding the list of primes is strictly forbidden)
Sample output for an input 11
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31
How to participate
Pick any language X, but please avoid selecting a language which is just another version or derivative of another answer.
If there is no existing answer in language X than you will write a program (which must fit into a single post I.E it must be less than 30k characters) that solves this challenge.
The length in bytes of the source (in any reasonable preexisting textual encoding) will be added to your score. You must avoid using any unnecessary characters for reasons that will soon become apparent.
If language X already has been used to answer this question, then you must answer using any permutation of any proper subset of the characters used in the shortest answer (I.E take the shortest X answer and remove some (>=1) characters and optionally rearrange the resulting code). The previous holder of the shortest X answer will lose all of the bytes provided by his answer from his score, and the number of bytes of your submission will now be added to your score. The number of bytes golfed off gets "lost" forever.
Rules for Languages
You may only crack a submission by posting an answer in the same language (and version), but you are barred from posting an answer in language X if there exists a submission in a sufficiently similar language Y. Please do not abuse this rule posting an answer in a sufficiently similar language will receive disqualification.
Below is a leader board which removes answers with "cracked" (with any case) in their header.
