Are you paranoid that someone will steal your code by looking over your shoulder as you type, or by stealing a printout of your code? Have no more fear, Whitespace is here http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/index.php Below is a sample program:

what a totally useless language.. so it address human to comptuer communication and understanding... but it fails to address human to human communication and understanding... which is also an important part of a programming language.. using that lanugage there is really no way one can figure out whts going on by just looking at it.. some guys seriously have a lot of time on their hands..  |

using that lanugage there is really no way one can figure out whts going on by just looking at it.. some guys seriously have a lot of time on their hands.. Useless? From the website: What are the advantages of Whitespace? Some things which are difficult in other languages are made much easier in Whitespace. For example, literate programming is simply a matter of writing your helpful comments in between program instructions. It's also easy to encrypt your programs. Simply write a misleading comment! Whitespace is a particularly useful language for spies. Imagine you have a top secret program that you don't want anyone to see. What do you do? Simply print it out and delete the file, ready to type in at a later date. Nobody will know that your blank piece of paper is actually vital computer code! Come on Rizzix, get with the program. |

just make the font realy small u could put all your code on one page, or better yet print over the same page over and over to make it even harder to read. |

Aha! I knew it! Dan's just a spy trying to steal all of the (good) programs he can! That's why he started compsci see! As for the language... I think it's probably on par with brainfuck for um... interestingness |

It's written in Haskell, so the default integer is unfixed length. Play with the factorial program. |
