save this in a file called ``SUSSMAN\n'' and try to compile it.
should print ``SUSSMAN\n'' twice

a.out is compiled from a.c

in a.c

#include <stdio.h>
#define ARBITRARY 10

int main(void)
{
    int i;
    for(i = 0; i < ARBITRARY; i++)
        ungetc('h', stdin);
    for(;;)
        puts("SUSSMAN");
}

That's a total of -ARBITRARY chars used.
I bid thee good day, sir.

Oops, you said print:

<?php echo'SUSSMAN'."\n".'SUSSMAN'."\n";?>

You don't say where I should print the SUSSMAN's. I say I want to print them to /dev/nul, nul, a broadcast stream, throwaway stream, etc.
Thus the entire act of printing Sussman's has no side effects, and a smart compiler could optimize this away in some circumstances. Which means that the shortest program which does this job doesn't have to do anything, and thus is 0 bytes (in a variety of languages which accept empty programs). It is the shortest solution to this challenge.

I beg to differ. My program does it in -10 bytes

echo sussman & echo sussman

Assuming the characters are encoded in ASCII, that's 27 bytes.

In HQ9S++ it's just ss. 2 bytes.

Optimization. Everyone knows that single quotes in PHP are faster.

I can actually imagine that this is the sort of idiotic thing that PHP would do, but [citation needed]

Why do you think it's horrible? They're just different operators: one for literal stuff and another one for substitutions.

Even if you take that into consideration, the syntax is pretty misleading and inconsistent.
