No PL/I equivalent to Obfuscated C? Humph. We used to have Palindromic PL/I
contests:
;
x->y=w<-o->w=y<-x
;
The rule was that the palindrome hadda pass unscathed under
the Pessimising Compiler. Then there were things like:
do do = go to label by name;
and...
%dcl a char(*) init (''''''''''''''''''''''); /* that's 22 quotes */
dcl b char(*);
put string(b) data(a);
/* what's the value of b? */
You whippersnappers think C can be obfusc? PL/I INVENTED the concept.
