Obfuscated code

Obfuscated code is program code that has been made intentionally unreadable.

Other programmers may find this entertaining. Non-technical people don't know what they're missing!

• Drunk (Perl, 2003)
  while ($sober) { drink $more; }
• Jabberwocky (C#, 2003)
  Beware the recursive Main, my son.
• Nasty SQL (C# / SQL, 2004)
  This little trick was regrettably used in production code for a while.
• Option Illicit (Visual Basic, 2004)
  What do you mean, obfuscated? It has comments!
• Soundex (C#, 2004)
  A confusing implementation of Knuth's soundex algorithm.

You can also see the specification for Condit, an esoteric programming language based on conditional execution.

Hey, if you got this far, you might like some jokes for programmers.
