Re: why rpg and not cobol

I think this thread has veered far enough from the original topic (of "rpg vs. cobol"), that we should let this thread die quietly now. ;-)

Yeah, the Perl contest ended, I think I read, in 2000. It was modeled after the IOCCC, it says on wiki who knows almost as much as google.

There are always the Perl Obfuscation Contests.
C obfuscation is at least as sophisticated (and effective!) as Perl
obfuscation, and has been around a lot longer. (The first official
International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) was held in 1984, a
few years before Perl was even created. No doubt people had been
informally obfuscating C for years before any official contest
emerged.)
