No, let’s not have rules. I don’t feel comfortable with having coding standards or any protocol on Camping. The point of Camping is to have very ugly, tricky code that goes against all the rules that people make for “beautiful” code these days. To show that ugly code can do beautiful things, maybe.
I don’t want to demonize anyone here, I just want to express the ideas that make Camping different. Camping’s personality is 80x50. It is like the little gears of a watch that are all meshed together into a tight little mind-bending machine. The challenge of Camping isn’t to figure out how to automate obfuscation. The challenge is to bring new tricks into the code that push Ruby’s parser and make everyone look twice. Not all code needs to be a factory, some of it can just be origami.
_why
— And this, is why _why rocks. Not because of the code, art, music, or anything else he created. But because of why he created it.
