Well if its a parentheses minimization contest, APL will beat the pants of everything. Heres a web-session at http://baruchel.hd.free.fr/apps/apl/ v1 ← 1 2 3 v2 ← 4 5 6 v3 ← 7 8 9 v4 ← 10 11 12 v1 1 2 3 # We need to reshape (⍴) v1 ← 3 1⍴ v1 v1 1 2 3 # Likewise v2 ← 3 1⍴ v2 v3 ← 3 1⍴ v3 v4 ← 3 1⍴ v4 v1,v2 1 4 2 5 3 6 # So we need to catenate in a different dimension v1⍪v2 1 2 3 4 5 6 #Likewise v3⍪v4 7 8 9 10 11 12 # Thats the only parentheses used (v1⍪v2),(v3⍪v4) 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 10 5 11 6 12 # And we dont even need all these (v1⍪v2),v3⍪v4 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 10 5 11 6 12 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
