You are not the first, nor will be the last, don't worry :)

It is just a matter of getting numbers straight.  For example, your
ray tracer (with low level optimizations) can be rewritten in at least
132 lines with the same semantics using another standard, albeit less
tight, indentation style (just spread the if's and move around the
in's).

Juho's version is just 162 lines, once you maitain CL style but "get
the hang of it" :)

Compare to OCaml (43 lines) and Haskell (45 lines).


Yes, sure. I cheated by making Juho's example 162 lines. :) I suppose
we can cheat in many other ways.
