Beautiful code

The title is self-explaining, post here lines that you find elegant for whatever reason, be it that it shows the power of a language you like, that it shows how smart you are, or it's one of those obfuscated pieces of code without line breaks... Whatever.

Take a look at this C# for starters. Bear in mind that all this is 100 per cent strongly statically typed!

Code:

foreach(var result in new[] {

   new {

      fileName = fileName + ".1" + extension,

      data = Result1

   },

   new {

      fileName = fileName + ".2" + extension,

      data = Result2

} })

{ /* ... */ }

Beautiful!

For those of you that don't know any CAS (Computer Algebra System), specially any capable of symbolic computations as well as numeric, here's a little Maxima:

That link is a MHTML file, any browser should be able to open it I think, except for Safari and Firefox needs some extension.

This is free software, amazing. Too bad I didn't know it before. I could port my Sun position calculator to this.

When you can show me what the southern hemisphere's night sky will look like on any given night, please let me know XD

I could... I only need massive amounts of initial data regarding the position, movement and brightness of every star. :P
