Reminds me of the tale of the two programmers arguing. One says "Mine actually works right." The other retorts, "But mine runs faster!" The first merely sighs.

Building almost nothing and using a very, high-level language definitely helps keep line count low. I wonder if we should count the runtime in these very-HLL examples. One like PreScheme, a system variant, I'd probably not count the runtime although might count the running time. :)
