I think (-ugene was the only golfer eulogized at YAPC::Europe,
cited in the "Dark Art of Obfuscation" talk
(http://domm.zsi.at/talks/obfu_yapc2002/):
Example (from perlgolf, TPR(0,5a) ...
# Eugene van der Pijll
-p sub
w{s/
([@_^+-])(.*)/ $2 $1/g}sub
f{s/\(([^()]+)\)/f($_=$+)/e?&f:w~w;$_}f
s/\s//g/s/\d+/$& /g
I wasn't at the talk but I heard the audience gave Mad Dutch
and his genius solution a spontaneous standing ovation.
I love this observation about Perl Golf from this talk:
"Obfuscation is neither the goal nor required, but hard to avoid."
Did any golfers attend YAPC::Europe?
I wonder what is the most obfuscated Perl Golf entry.
Rick's "clearly insane" solution from (-ugene's Coca-Kola tourney?
Michael "my hero" Thelen's "absolute obfuscation" theme in Juho's
Infix to RPN match?
