Interesting 

I used to do a lot of dev work in the early 1990s and wrote code in a
few styles:

(1) try to make it read as much like english as possible (a hangover from
earning COBOL  at school in the 80s) 

(2) try to make it as obscure as possible - usually only with Perl as once
written any maintenance would effectively require a rewrite. I could never
keep Perl in my head long enough between maintenance. I think I was trying to
force myself to move away from Perl, but each time I came back to it I
couldn't find anything I could replace it with.

(3) to play around with features I never really got chance to use
