True, but could just anyone write it as offensively as the below Python one-liner?
(Were one to ever write such code in production, he should be escorted from the building immediately!)
from itertools import tee, izip, chain
pascal = lambda rows: reduce(lambda acc,n: acc+[(lambda it: [sum(x) for x in (lambda it,n=2: izip(*((lambda it,n: ([next(it) for _ in xrange(n)],it)[-1])(it,pos) for pos,it in enumerate(tee(it,n)))))(chain((0,),it,(0,)))])(acc[-1])], xrange(rows), [[1]])
num_rows = 10
print '\n'.join( ' '.join(map(str,row)) for row in pascal(num_rows) )
