Perl can also be hilariously unreadable: https://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol4_3/tpj0403-0017.html https://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol4_3/tpj0403-0017.ht

That does not mean people write code in those programming languages like that: C: https://www.ioccc.org/ https://www.ioccc.org/ Javascript: view-source:https://www.google.com/ https://www.google.com/ The truth is that insulting Perl is considered stylish by some, so many people do despite knowing little to nothing about Perl and having never used it. However, if you want Perl to be hilariously unreadable, why not write it in Latin: https://metacpan.org/dist/Lingua-Romana-Perligata/view/lib/Lingua/Romana/Perligata.pm https://metacpan.org/dist/Lingua-Romana-Perligata/view/lib/L... Or Klingon: https://metacpan.org/pod/Lingua::tlhInganHol::yIghun https://metacpan.org/pod/Lingua::tlhInganHol::yIghun

      It's like when we, Gen-X ers, were repeating bad stuff about COBOL without having seen a single line of it. Then I saw a real COBOL program and... well... it was even worse than what I had imagined :-)

        Perl has both oneliners/spaggethi code and games like Pangzero.
