Also I am getting tired of all these "my language can do this in 4 lines vs 5 lines in your languae so your language sucks"-posts. Line-counting is a pretty dumb and insightless way of comparing language power and tells far from the whole story.
But yeah, trying to arrange all languages along a single "axis of power" is a pretty pointless exercise...
But 4 lines vs 5 lines doesn't really say that, if it did then we would all be using Perl.
