You want to preserve a digital voice recording on a 100-year scale. You choose a physical medium that takes long to produce and has limited space (eg laser-etching), so you use compression.

You want to include a working decoder as source code so future people can interpret the data for playback.

What language would you choose? Feel free to explain in comments!
