Z80 Assembler, 50 bytes

org 256
ld de,m
ld c,9
jp 5
m:db"Hello, world!\r$"

With assembler there's usually the problem which machine or operating system the program is for. I've chosen CP/M here as it runs on a variety of different machines with a Z80 processor.

CP/M programs start at address 0x100, but the decimal representation 256 is shorter.

The program loads the address of the $-terminated string into the D & E register pair, then the number of the print text subroutine (9) into the C register, and jumps to the BDOS entry. It uses the RETurn of that routine to end itself, instead of CALLing the BDOS and needing an own RET instruction in the program.

SOS, 155 Bytes

!+!-!!+!-!!!!+!!-!!+!-!+!-!+!!-!+!!-!!!+!!-!+!!-!!!+!!-!+!!!!-!!+!-!+!!-!!!!+!-!!!!!!+!-!+!-!+!!!-!+!!-!+!!!!-!+!!!-!!+!-!!+!!-!+!!-!!!+!!-!!+!-!!+!-!!!!+!

Explanation:

Each ! outputs a single bit. That bit is 0 if the current stack is empty, and 1 otherwise. Initially the stack is empty. + adds something (an empty stack) to it, and - removes it. As soon as 8 bits are output, the corresponding byte is sent to stdout. Therefore the sequence up to the 8th !, !+!-!!+!-!!! outputs the bit sequence 01001000, which is the ASCII code for the letter H.

The last character uses the fact that if at the end of the program less than 8 bits are output, the value is left-padded with zeros, and the resulting byte is output. So with comments (and spaces to make the output commands line up), the program reads like this:

 !+!-! !+!-! ! !  Output 01001000, i.e. H
 !+! !-! !+!-!+!  Output 01100101, i.e. e
-!+! !-!+! !-! !  Output 01101100, i.e. l
 !+! !-!+! !-! !  Output 01101100, i.e. l
 !+! !-!+! ! ! !  Output 01101111, i.e. o
-! !+!-!+! !-! !  Output 00101101, i.e. comma
 ! !+!-! ! ! ! !  Output 00100000, i.e. space
 !+!-!+!-!+! ! !  Output 01010111, i.e. W
-!+! !-!+! ! ! !  Output 01101111, i.e. o
-!+! ! !-! !+!-!  Output 01110010, i.e. r
 !+! !-!+! !-! !  Output 01101100, i.e. l
 !+! !-! !+!-! !  Output 01100100, i.e. d
    +!-! ! ! !+!  Output 00100001, i.e. exclamation mark

main(){puts("Hello, World!");}

Try it online!


This is using GNU C extensions. GNU C allows main() over int main(), ss well as using puts without including stdio.h.

They kept saying that jq is the language of September 2021. Still surprised no one even made a Hello, World! on it.
