(How to write a 163-line program to compute 1+1)
  
    Fun reading for last night: (How to write a 163-line program to compute 1+1). I disagree with some of his premises, as Perl has so many more side-effects than a clean LC should allow (I mean, just calling a function shifts internal state around much more than is obvious), but whatever, it was enjoyable.  (I'm working hard to not end up like Wally in Dilbert: "Of all life's pleasures, I like nitpicking the best")
