Reject the code block. Embrace the modularity. If you were going to write a code block, write a function instead.

If you must avoid code blocks, that means you can only use one line. I don't think you can be Turing complete if each function can only call one function. I don't even think you can get a context-free grammar, Chomsky normal form at least allows a variable to expand into two variables.

Please never bring up CNF again. I'm a year out of college, two years out of finite automata, and I still shudder when it's brought up.
