APL = A Programming Language, by Iverson. It has the unique property that any program can be condensed to a single line of code. Only readable by the hardest-core geeks...

Kinda sounds like perl :-)

Back when fedgov was trying to suppress strong crypto, I had the "RSA in 3 lines of Perl" .signature file.

I also have a really old DOS program that will convert any '.com' file into standard ascii that is still executable. I kinda liked that one.
