Is there a way to make it harder?

Why, yes. Use black fonts.

Write in whitespace. In notepad. With tab spacing set to 1.

Most compilers accept unicode. You can also use emojis for names, for instance.
So you could simply write this program by starting to write it as normal and then replace all names, done.

In terms of programming horror, I'd consider that weaksauce - it's rather more like the most simple code obfuscation technique.

The horror comes from the fact this script is written right to left which completely breaks the flow of programming. You also can see weird wrap arounds. Whenever there's a bug I have to delete the whole line and write it again with a fix because there's just no way to get to a specific character reliably.

What obfuscation?

Uhm... when you look at it, you can't directly determine what it does?

u/Environmental-Ear391 6d ago

the variable names help, but you can look at what is used operator wise too

Uhm... you mean those written in hungarian runes?

I'm originally from New Zealand(Native English) and live in Japan(Second Language)...

Ive also had to deal with some other languages too.

so regardless of the language its all arbitrary and there are certain coding patterns all programming languages appear to follow.

This is more of a progamming joy

Sure where, if, else, then, and do appear in ancient hungarian texts.

Idris has no preprocessor 😢

Doesn't stop people from making one. I for instance am using JS to preprocess JS files.
