Looking at the most beautiful program ever written - part 1

Looking at the most beautiful program ever written - part 1

I am going to have a look at what William Byrd presented as The most beautiful program ever written.

Beauty here refers to computer programs, specifically about Lisp. There might be errors as this is something I wrote to make sense of that interpreter, proceed at your own risk.

Thanks a lot to Carl J. Factora for the help.

The program

58 bytes of css to look great nearly everywhere

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}
