- pavelludiq 13y agoWith all due respect, get lost. Flaged!

"Oh noes, they're not using the latin-alphabet for everything! Whatever shall we do!" The third one is an example of taking away all indenting and spacing from a presumably badly written function, which makes any language unreadable, but at least in lisp consistent indenting and spacing is relatively easy to accomplish. I suppose the obfuscated C contest entries or PERL golf would actually be far harder...
