C programmers commit fresh crimes against readability

  A title like "Latest winners of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest" might be more useful.

    Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    More useful, but much less funny. I believe that the title of TFA is faithful to the spirit of a contest named "The International Obfuscated C Code Contest", even if I was also confused by the title. The work of all the winners was extremely impressive, as usual at this contest. I especially enjoyed the Nixie tube emulator, being familiar with real Nixie tubes, and having a fondness for their use in clocks.
