///, 13 bytes

Hello, World!

Someone had to.

18 bytes using replacement

/x/H/xello, World!

23 bytes using two-layer replacement

/a/Hello, World!//b/a/b

a is replaced with Hello, World! in /b/a/b, creating /b/Hello, World!/b which prints Hello, World! at the end.

wagwan my slime
man say"Hello, World!"
chat wit u later fam

My first RoadLang answer! And probably the first one on this site!

Removing any of the words says "Aight the lad's lost the plot", so I think this is the most minimal answer I can get here.

Thanks to Quintec for patching string parsing so that this works.

"Hello, World!"

No, I'm not joking. This ridiculous language for a code golf actually beats some of the more normal languages.

Basically just keeps replacing the current cell value with the ASCII value of whatever character in "Hello, World!" its printing and moving on. I might add a more detailed explanation later (or maybe someone else can, if they feel like it).
