(Slotos 1 point 52 minutes ago) Perl is the only language that looks the same before and after you obfuscate your source code.

He's wrong as well. Take a look at APL some day.

X[⍋X+.≠' ';]

That's a complete sort operation on an array X

life←{↑1 ⍵∨.∧3 4=+/,¯1 0 1∘.⊖¯1 0 1∘.⌽⊂⍵}

That's the complete "Game of Life"! :laugh:

One of my friends from high school learned to read APL. Yes, he had too much time on his hands (he was very intelligent as well. Got a 36 on the ACT first time). He did say he would NEVER work with it, though (he did admit it was very concise).

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Naw.. APL is obfuscated enough as it is, nobody would bother doing more to it :) Stupid language to write a machine control program in, but at least it isn't Malboge[^]

We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

figures out which instruction to execute by taking the value [c], adding the value of c to it, and taking the remainder when this is divided by 94. The final result tells the interpreter what to do:

:omg: I can see why development time is so long!

Its on my bucket list to learn it and write something more useful than hello world in it :) Not sure if I'll live long enough.
