Lambda the Ultimate

LtU readers know that I am long time advocate of code reading. As I've argued here in the past, reading great code is the best way to acquire good programming skills. It's also a pleasure to read good code. Yes - reading code can be fun.

It turns out that I am not alone (though my conception of a code reading workshop is perhaps somewhat different than the things discussed there).

Anyway, this is a chance to continue one of my pet memes. Many of the pieces of great code I've read over the years come from language processing tools (e.g., compilers, meta-programming systems etc.) I don't think this is a coincidence.

Now's your chance to tell us your favorite examples.

The rules: The code must be beautiful and it must be programming language related (and no, being written in a programming language isn't enough).
