100% serious. I don't see how you can seriously consider the version that is way more complex and much less flexible "better".

Which code samples are you actually comparing? Because no matter how I try to slice it, the pseudocode I gave is shorter.
I can't tell if you're joking or not here. But let's pretend you're not.

Sorry, I thought you were comparing WITH imports to the proper version. In that case the apples-to-apples version comparison is 0.625x (5/8 or 4/7) between your pseudocode and real world code with abstractions.
I'm... pretty happy with that! Even the version that uses ropes, can be reused in many contexts, and relies on external and highly tested code is only 1 line longer in all cases.
Thank you, I hadn't really considered psuedocode as a valid competitor but now I realize it makes my blog post look a lot better.
