From: Erik Veenstra Date: 2005-03-19T17:39:51+09:00 Subject: OSNEWS: The International Obfuscated Ruby Code Contest The front page of OS News [1] mentions "The International Obfuscated Ruby Code Contest": 'Obfuscation' is to make something difficult or unusually obscure. One of the ironies of Ruby programming is the general desire of Rubyists to believe that a goal to accomplish readability in code overshadows even at times its functionality. At times to the point of obsurdity. Enter the International Obfuscated Ruby Code Contest with prizes up to $750. gegroet, Erik V. [1] http://www.osnews.com/
