Time to refactor the whole kernel into a one-liner!

A single line of lambda calculus.

With about forty million parentheses.

That's cheating. It won't actually make the code smaller.

source?

Common sense. Just making the same code into a single line won't change much.

that doesn't sound right, it's so much smaller if it's just one line

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@infosec.pub -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The line will be like several quadrillion characters long though.
