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
The line will be like several quadrillion characters long though.
but if there's a bug I'll know exactly which line to look at
