...and by "most expressive C++17 [program]" it actually meant this:
> So the purpose of this challenge is to write a piece of code that contains as many features of C++17 as possible, and that is as clear as possible.
...which, clearly, states that the goal was not minimize lines of code.
I bet D fanboys can find more apples-to-oranges comparisons where D comes out as the most citric alternative when compared with apples and bananas.
And by the way, the contest was organized by a couple of blogs, and the winner was a self-confessed amateur. Hardly a tour de force in C++ programming.
