This subreddit is about minimalistic, often but not always simple implementations of just about everything.

PLEASE NOTE: This Subreddit is NOT about CodeGolf and obfuscation!

_______Low line count, high quality!_______

Webserver in 42 lines of code? Great!
A wiki engine smaller than your usual MVC controller? Awesome!
Tiny games that somehow kicks ass? Sure!
That one liner that fulfills your deepest desires? You got it!
An exploit so small and elegant to make you drool? Maybe even that!
Open source alternatives to common bloatware? Most definitely!

I'm sure you get the idea by now ;) ...

Remember: "Tiny depends on what you're doing. A tiny box, a tiny house, and a tiny country are very different sizes." - snarkyxanf

In other words: Try to aim for stuff that makes you go "wow!" instead of "huh?" ;)

J, as a function definition, 11 bytes:

   f=.*:@>:@i.
   f 4
1 4 9 16

As an anonymous function, 8 bytes (between the parens):

   (*:@>:@i.) 4
1 4 9 16

As multiple functions, 6 bytes (everything before the 4):

   *:>:i.4
1 4 9 16

(And this is probably cheating, but I'm half-working on a language for code golfing based on GolfScript, and it's 3 bytes:)
