Lets say hypothetical, if someone were to have come up with a novel compression algorithm but has no prior programming knowledge. What would be the easiest way to create a compression program?

Find someone who can program, and collaborate.

>you need programming knowledge to invent a compression algorithm
This is what code monkeys actually believe...

If you knew nearly enough about computer science to make a non-retard compression algorithm, you'd know enough to pick up a babby language like python and implement it yourself

I'm not OP, and I actually do know how to program. It's entirely plausible that, say, a mathematician with no programming expertise could come up with a compression algorithm.

Yes, it's plausible but why would he? Morse Code was designed to compress characters into as few electrical impulses as possible and other "down-the-wire" encoding schemes that could be considered basic compression were developed before electrical computers came into common use, but complex compression algorithms have limited use outside of modern computers.

just divide by two over and over again till you have 1 bit left.

True though your implementation likely would benefit from being tweaked by someone experienced in bit twiddling.

Optimal lossless compression is already known if you consider random data
What does your technique improve? does it exploit regularities in a certain class of data? which class? Is it lossful compression? This would only be useful for certain classes of data, and the class would determine which information is ok to lose.

So, which class of data is your compression algorithm for? or are you larping?
