Reminds me of the tale of the two programmers arguing. One says &quot;Mine actually works right.&quot; The other retorts, &quot;But mine runs faster!&quot; The first merely sighs.<p>Building almost nothing and using a very, high-level language definitely helps keep line count low. I wonder if we should count the runtime in these very-HLL examples. One like PreScheme, a system variant, I&#x27;d probably not count the runtime although might count the running time. :)
