Just keep using Java. It will be hard to read!

The good news: This was discussed extensively in this forum
(/list/newsgroup) just last week. Also, the week before that. Also, the
week before that.

The bad news: Despite over 30 years of technology research, nobody* has
ever discovered a method to go back in time and read old messages. If only
there were a way, my friend... if only.

Sorry I can't be more help.

*that asks this question

Good post Jay Levitt.


PS: Why not do it in Octal? That will make it hard for a lot of people to
read, including your self hehe.

Why in the world are you using Ruby?

Ruby is *meant* to be joy and that's why is pretty and therefore
readable.
I stick with John: Just keep using Java. It IS ugly and noone will
read it!

Or, if you really want to mix and match, migrate some "critical"
algorithmic portions to C and compile them to executables and let your
script interface with the executable in one of the many ways that are there.

That way, you protect some things, but get some of the benefits of Ruby
anyway.

Cheers,
Mohit.

Eric and I wrote one (google for zenobfuscate)... It has been used in
an OSX (rubycocoa) production app. We decided to put a $2500 license
fee on it to filter the serious from the non-serious. Let me know if
you're serious.

Is that serious? At that price, it would be worth it to just write it
in C/C++ maybe even Cobol.

No, he asked if *Igor* was serious. :)

But seriously ... sheesh ... what the world needs more than anything
else is a language in which one can think of software and it
automatically appears, but only its creator can read it. We could call
it ... uh ... APL.

<ducking>

Am I as tired as I look?

Something tells me that $2500 is cheaper than the time you'd need to do
that, plus you'd still get to develop in Ruby.

Yes, we're serious. If you plan on making money off of software,
$2500 isn't be much money, 100 sales at $25 each.
