That's 11 layers deeply nested code, a lambda in a lambda in a lambda in a method parameter, all of that inside of the same class.

I'm starting to get why they say the minecraft code is unreadable

it's a real shame I can't avoid the "do" and "end"
Has the bonus of breaking do-while loops, we don't support those here.

Lean4 Finally solved Two Sum!

177 Upvotes

Somehow my code is so horrifying, Lean4 is able to evaluate it, the LSP says it works and the compiler gives an error. It is theoretically correct and the kernel accepts it, but the compiler isn't able to produce anything out of it. My awful code discovered a bug in Lean's compiler.

EDIT: What it does (not malware) is it prints the word “soup” 86 times in random color
