Show HN: CreepyCodeCollection- a Nonsense Collection of Disgusting Codes
- niftich 10y agoI'm not convinced that 'creepy' is the right word but this is a fascinating collection of art; the puzzling, the underhanded, the clever, and the impressive. I hope the collection will grow over time!
- elorm 10y agoThe right term is obfuscation. And if you'd done your research well, you would have found tens of them on the perl monks forum....... way more intriguing and "creepier" than your examples
- jhbadger 10y agoAnd since 1984, well before Perl was a thing, C coders have had their "International Obfuscated C Code Contest".
- greydius 10y agoWhy do some people call programs "codes"? I hear this a lot from mathematicians and physicists.
