That's not a fair comparison, rewriting anything in any lisp will dramatically reduce the amount of cruft, both lines of code and complexity.

- kaba0 4y agoDoubt. Plus, essential complexity is non-reducible.
- capableweb 4y agoEssential complexity I agree, you cannot get rid of (hence the whole "essential" part). However, when you program, lots of non-essential complexity sneaks in. If you've only ever written code in one language, I bet you wouldn't even be able to notice what is essential vs non-essential.
- argiopetech 4y agoIt is still a LOC reduction produced via rewrite. I don't think we should hold it against them that they choose a great target language for the rewrite...
- srcreigh 4y agoA lot of those dropped lines of code is gonna be lines which only contain }.
