Ray tracer as one big mostly-functional expression in C# using LINQ.  Well, 
one call per pixel, at least.

    C# - a language whose greatest drawback
    is that its best implementation comes
    from a company that doesn't hate Microsoft.

should be fun to compare it with several other minimal raytracers:

  He should really have used the option "-march=native" when compiling with
gcc. That can have a considerable effect. (Unless he really wanted a binary
which can be run in all possible intel architectures from 80386 forward.)

How long will it be before somebody builds one in the SKI combinator 
calculus or something?
