Below is my humble JAPH. It's not the most obfuscated in the world, and the art is decidedly crude, but it was definitely fun to implement.

I made a conscious effort to avoid alphanumeric characters, even in variable names, except those required for the builtins: chr, int, length, log, ord, print, sqrt, and the while statement. Also a couple of uses inside regexes.

($/)=$~=~/..(.).$/, $_=$/.$`; $_=chr(ord ($&)+ length ($~) ).$_ ;$/= ord ($_); $_.=chr (length ($_ .$~. $&.$~)); $_.=chr (( $/- int ( sqrt( $/) ))- //). chr ($/ +int (log ($/ ))); ($;,$, )=$~ =~ /.(.).(.)/ ,$_.=$,.$;; $/ -= //,$/-=//;$_.=chr( $/ );$/ -=// +//+ //;$_ .=chr($/). chr(ord($~ )-//).chr((ord($~) +// )/(( length ($~ .$_ )+//+// +// ) / //+ //) );( $;, $/ ,$,,$",$\ )=/(.) .(. ).( .)( .. )(. )$/x ,$_ .= ++ $/. $" ;$/ =$;; $ ;++ while( /\G./g &&$"!~/ $&/x );$_ .=++$;; $_ .= $\ .$ ,.$/;++ $/ ;$_.= ++ $/ ;++ $, ,++$, ,++ $, , $_ .= $, . $"; print (($_)); $' ; $% == // ; $$ == $\ ++ ;; $| =//+//i ; ; $' ,$\ ;$!/$$;
