PlatyPar, 59
#
# starts a numeric base-60 literal, and since no digits are found, it ends up as 59. This started as a happy accident, but since I have already [ab]used this bug in another answeranother answer, I kept it.
Here's another approach, my take on the boring way that everyone and their grandmother used for this challenge.
PlatyPar, 100000000 (9 digits)
'18Md0+;
Explanation
'1 ## push "1" (a string) to the stack
8Md ; ## repeat 8 times
0+ ## add a 0
## [implicitly] print the result
