That's really great. This style of writing reminds me APL or J (Jay).
For example I wrote this in less than 5 minutes in J:
(0 -.~ ] * 1 - ] e. [: ~. [: , */~ ) 2 + i.100
This short program gives the first 100 prime numbers. I have just some questions : is it easy to write one-line codes in Perl ? fast ? useful ?
