Notes
  1. Winfield 2007, p.152
gollark: I have a thing to obfuscate python which produces output like this:```pythonimport zlib,base64,marshal;exec(marshal.loads(zlib.decompress(base64.b85decode("c${5PO>fjN5Vf6T<8HegI8ekXNF3Nh;}%p=P*owS!ilOBAu3-gZ#;Cf<O|zrx6u|ME%*L~?UBEff52bhgq>2UG|{{nKacaCCkeXq_%>eK&_66lByol~?lR$|%O3Y^CYhfHJithL(*KEg4?-EtF-FjnJsHl4twKpVCXh>W%qe)2r9~g;71k2G#j>lqe#^<_Rn(pF7Atba@e+ST!@+OoX@7{@K1?f7$XbI+$Q{3Z8@tZ)js=4zctK|93SU0GAjX?viRa|<{)K1!MKB{X@5<_YMw{pZIz&geDv7Kj*>B0&XxM9ewaT(|#6tz&YS4y<mMAMITED}d9@i$#_;ONK=U>tc%F$%#bI*3QzFTvuKv!j<ZB^Fh*m1v*3a!UKbXyyh7AHF`mE~EHl|l~O1>9{Ac|_Eb&CP?oDI`{;IEfBanSiVnM4NH5J~pP(uNZ^8p2kVSPC@C^DzUAtk$4F&1l!%+%j=`HBr)+ssAj-SUa|OQ`Q%_MG(;OwQsz|#2IA-qoTNq3Np*YA;wJje;;c+W#`IVyU`gWim^)J&P;9+<d}E{%+Q29+V!O$dIAe$JH=cib_f|BNX(N=Wt7df~PDQk4^`rmX3<vz)^{nH6qgI~1y$UR}q|`htbzBKER@l*QGHp=V=^0L?FydIIs`Xt%+k<JUjc#c!zJjH-{Y&T8S>8?k7Et#Qx}BG@&S1yM>4z35aqo&xDJA{u+U9%YFJ<1>Xa"))))```but I think the output only works on the same version/platform.
gollark: I've heard that you can't actually unambiguously parse perl.
gollark: I see.
gollark: You can probably obfuscate JS pretty well just by using a bunch of modern JS libraries and a bundler.
gollark: It's technically not *necessary*, but that doesn't make it *not useful*.
