No humbling intended, but you reminded me of a conference
on Algol 60 implementation (yeah, decades ago) in which the
American and European participants were trying to one-up
each other. It went something like this:
American1: My Algol compiler has 10,000 lines of code.
American2: My Algol compiler has 20,000 lines of code!
American3: My Algol compiler has 30,000 lines of code!
vs.
European1: I can compile Algol in only 8,000 lines of code!
European2: I can compile Algol in only 6,000 lines of code!
European3: I can compile Algol in only 4,000 lines of code!
;-)
