16th IOCCC Winners Released

Apparently "releas[ing] the winning source by mid April 2002" actually means "within a year", but you can finally enjoy them here. Or, if you don't enjoy them, you can beat your head against the wall trying to figure out how these programs work ;-)"

    However, this is a slashdot editor we're talking about here, so you're probably right. :-)

    No, the contest is to demonstrate a mastery of ANSI C. Only someone who truly understands every intricacy of the preprocessor and the compiler can write one of these. A much better comparison might be something like an NBA slam dunk contest -- you'll see stuff that you won't see anywhere else and is completely stunning. Very, very few programmers could hope to create an entry such as these.

    There is a whole essay on the topic. Funny as hell a read, and good in-your-face material for co-workers, too.
