Since the article is written in a generic programming language, not a DSL, and has the math derivation and notes on performance, maybe you got confused about what this is? It’s not code golf, it’s demonstrating that this algorithm for terrain rendering is fundamentally expressable in a small amount of code.

That’s true, but that’s not what happened here, the author did not write a DSL, so this is not a valid example of your first sentence. As such, your phrase ‘to whit’ is misused, the phrase is synonymous with ‘specifically’. Also just FYI it’s spelled ‘to wit’.
