Some people like to have big monitors so that they can fit more code on their screen at once.  Instead of getting a bigger screen why not shrink the code?<p>As a side project I implemented a small text editor in this style.  I had a working text editor with the ability to load a file, insert and delete text, scroll around a large file, and save changes.  It fit within about 100 lines of concise (but I wouldn&#x27;t say obfuscated) C.<p>In the end I decided to reformat it and use my usual style before implementing more features.  But it was a good experiment and I now understand the appeal of the ultra-condensed style you see in J, K, some Forth, and some Perl code.
