Thanks to various replies.
I've now gather code solutions in ruby, python, C, Java, here:
• A Example of Mathematica's Expressiveness
http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ/Mathematica_expressiveness.html
now lacking is perl, elisp, which i can do well in a condensed way.
It'd be interesting also to have javascript... and perhaps erlang,
OCaml/F#, Haskell too.
