Help travellers get from one side of a bridge to another with only a lantern to guide them. (Solution is random/brute force, not exhaustive/optimal.)

NodeJS Server 1-liners

Submitted for your approval, a NodeJS solution in 123 chars. ⛳

r=require;r("http").createServer((i,o)=>r("stream").pipeline(r("fs").createReadStream(i.url.slice(1)),o,_=>_)).listen(8080)

Run it in bash to serve files relative to that directory, and also any file on your computer if given an absolute path. 😱

node -e 'r=require;r("http").createServer((i,o)=>r("stream").pipeline(r("fs").createReadStream(i.url.slice(1)),o,e=>console.log(i.url,e))).listen(8080)'

To underscore the point that you don't need Lodash…
////////
// _.get
var object = { 'a': [{ 'b': { 'c': 3 } }] };
_.get(object, 'a[0].b.c'); // => 3
object?.a?.[0]?.b?.c; // => 3
_.get(object, 'a.b.c', 'default'); // => 'default'
object?.a?.b?.c ?? 'default'; // => 'default'
