(From the department of “cool, but useless”)
This is valid Erlang code:
-module(aoeui).
-compile(export_all).
'___'() ->
io:format("___~n").
'<<@@>>'() ->
io:format("<<@@>>~n").
'!@#$%^&*(){}'() ->
io:format("!@#$%^&*(){}~n").
'_абвгд_'() ->
io:format("_абвгд_~n").
This is of course due to the fact that functions in Erlang are identified by atom and arity pairs, which means that any valid atom is a valid function name.
Sadly, the only opportunity to use these with clear conscience is the next Obfuscated Erlang Competition. :(
