Is this a joke or a documentary?



" for(;P("\n"),R-;P("|"))for(e=C;e-;P("_"+(*u++/8)%2))P("|"+(*u/4)%2);

To think that modern programmers would try to use a language that 
allowed such a statement was beyond our comprehension! We actually 
thought of selling this to the Soviets to set their computer science 
progress back 20 or more years."

I could believe that. ;-)

If a million monkeys were at a million typewriters for a million years, one 
of them would produce Shakespeare.


The others would write Perl programs.
