I'd put BooK above Abigail for Obfuscation by a long
shot. BTW, obfuscation covers more than just JAPHs.

Well, uh thanks...
I really believe that obfuscation covers a lot of different topics...
- It's not only unreadable code or convoluted print statements
- The most interesting ways to obfuscate are probably not in
encrypting your code so that it's unreadable
- Obfuscated algorithms are very interesting (see the
many more than one way to do $A++,
for example)
- To me, "linguistic" constraints are so interesting
and I can't even comment on them ;-)
But by any means, don't do this at hom^W^Win production code...

True.. either way, I wouldn't think merlyn would be the O++++. Maybe for map, he should.

Oh, it does? Wowzers, I never knew that!! I thought Perl would puke on obfuscated code that didn't contain the words "Just Another Perl Hacker". *smirk*
Either way, more people likely know who Abigail is and likely consider him
the current 'leader' for obfuscated Perl.. and if you have something like this I would think
a more recognizable name makes more sense. But, that's my opinion :)
Cheers,

Well, uh, I intend to make myself a name in obfuscation... *grin*
Since I stopped writing poetry under constraints (see Oulipo), I found Perl to be a nice replacement...
I have difficulties not to think of multilingual programs as pieces of art or poetry...
