--------------------- I would like to see comparisons with computational language known for having very short programs – the J language – http://rosettacode.org/wiki/J Posted by GlitchMr <http://glitchmr.github.com/> November 14, 2012 at 12:45 pm --------------------- This was also mentioned in a thread on this blog in Hacker News. I quickly ran the code on J and got ratios of lines:0.5, characters: 0.74, tokens:0.5, over 432 comparisons IE J is about half the length of Mathematica code. Hacker News discussion also asked about APL, which has ratios of between 1 and 2 (IE longer than Mathematica, but over only 32 comparisons which is too few to be reliable). Julia was also asked about, but there are only 9 comparisons.
