Whitney is an unrealized IOCCC champion.
- kelas 3y ago> Whitney is an unrealized IOCCC champion. no, that'd be fabrice bellard, who is actually a "realized" ioccc champ. atw doesn't do obfuscated c. you are led astray.
- huhtenberg 3y ago> atw doesn't do obfuscated c. He writes as most of us code-golf. Makes you wonder how good his golfing would be if he tries.
- Keyframe 3y agoYou know it's in jest, of course. However, he doesn't write C either - and you know that better than us. It's a DSL with its own idioms and quirks that just happens to be in C. Often hearing about "evils" of preprocessor (which I do and don't agree with) I wonder if he ever considered anything else, aside from C, that's also low level. Heck, even asm can be macro'd away.
- gaze 3y agoI know you're joking but people who write C like him would argue it's not obfuscated. It's certainly not intentionally written to be more difficult to read, and those who are practiced in the art often say that it's _easier_ to read.
- dchest 3y agoPity that he writes in C; if he wrote in JavaScript, he wouldn't need a minifier.
- up2isomorphism 3y agoSorry, you didn't get him. He does not do it for the sake of making it harder to read, nor he would entertain language like Javascript.
- dchest 3y agoit was a joke. i'm fascinated by his approach. shakti.com has a suspiciously familiar looking snippet of javascript was it him?
