Sounds like you're not familiar with Haskell.

Available language features in Haskell make my solution there much more readable ( and short ) than in JS. My JS solution has so much overhead to implement necessary features I consider it pretty much unreadable, even if in essence it's pretty simple.

I've commented something earlier in the vein of this. At first I was too busy looking for an elegant solution and then gave in and submitted something rather simple but non-elegant. I believe the most elegant solution I've seen among the two languages I'm familiar with is JohanWiltink's JS solution.

Your comment reminds me of this. A very simple melody, but it took 1 genius to come up with it.
