I should also note that a friend, who was an ex-Java now corporate web management head, found the Lisp style most readable!?

We prefer the ruby style, with downto.

Missed a lightly optimised version:

def factorial n
  r = 1
  n.downto(2) { |i| r *= i }
  r
end

and missed a ruby classic (Slower):

def factorial n
  (2..n).inject(1) { |r, i| r *= i }
end
