Hi Richard, When I read through the background of the link, I found that a comparison with J was done and the programmer, Jon McLoone, posted the results as a response to a comment:
" I quickly ran the code on J and got ratios of lines:0.5, characters: 0.74, tokens:0.5, over 432 comparisons i.e. J is about half the length of Mathematica code."
