While definitely great proof of: 1. The author knowing a lot of the language's functional features (permutations, mapping, zipping, filters) 2. How powerful functional programming is when solving problems I find this type of code an anti pattern of how good code should be. This solution has a high "cognitive load" imho: http://chrismm.com/blog/how-to-reduce-the-cognitive-load-of-your-code/ I'd much rather see a 15-20 line solution that's clear and readable, than a 4 line solution that I have to reverse engineer.
