"Hello, World!".say
Explanation
First second answer of the.. entire site, actually. Nothing special. I don't think this can go shorter, but this is Raku, who actually knows. I made this post to (possibly) try and set a precedent for what a answer should look like. Obv you don't have to explain it, but it's nice.

Simple use of Implicit IO. Polyglot with half a dozen golf langauges.

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.

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.

Basically what goes on is #[num] pushes the ASCII value of num onto the top of the stack, : duplicates the top of the stack, and . prints the top of the stack.
Admittedly this is probably the most golfed it can get as I seem to be unable to further rearrange everything to get a lower byte count, so it does seem that sub-50 bytes is barely out of reach.

main(){puts("Hello, World!");}
This is using GNU C extensions. GNU C allows main() over int main(), ss well as using puts without including stdio.h.

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

printf(char*);main(){printf("Hello, World!");}
printf(char*);(14 bytes) is better than
