In keeping with the Language of the Year choice of the functional
programming language, Haskell, may I humbly suggest
the functional, Unlambda language, which is described at
http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/programs/unlambda/, as
an candidate choice of obfuscated language.  (Just in case you'd rather not
start from scratch.)

Whether or not it is worth the effort of implementing such a language in
Ruby, I leave to you. ;-)
