I can still do this provided that the language is Perl. But the few cases when I actually have to do so are rare, and never in public.

    Well yeah, Perl is write-only. Larry Wall asked the monkey's paw for a language that works on the first try. What's onscreen are your raw brain patterns.

    Thank god it runs like crap. Optimized C isn't pretty, but any project that compiles proves someone looked at it more than once.
