"sort answers in each language by byte count" By far most challenges will only have one answer per language, so that doesn't do much. Sorting alphabetically is useless and just means some languages get viewed more. Random is probably the best ordering without votes, but that really should be the fall... (more) |

Personally I'm fine with there being some incentive to "have fun". And the frequency of that being taken too far should be small enough for it to not be a big worry. Some mixed sorting system that pushes new answers above highest voted ones would be nice, but also would be somewhat harder to do right... (more) |

"Coding competitions" should get rid of the "unanswered problems" mindset, and convey the idea a bit more. (more) |

Short answers aren't necessarily "interesting". Getting the smallest byte count of all answers isn't a goal in code golf challenges either. E.g. a Python submission would definitely be longer, than, say, [Jelly](https://github.com/DennisMitchell/jellylanguage), but has a chance of being much more int... (more) |

@luap42 A byte count answer property alone wouldn't help much, as you'd still need the language name. But parsing the answer start is acceptable, assuming you'd still be able to sort by byte-count at the client side. (If anything, a "name" property would be best, since that can be used even in challe... (more) |

Interested as enthusiast/expert (whatever that means for code-golfing); Participated a lot on PPCG/CGCC. (more) |
