Coding poems

So I’ve been researching the programming languages used to write poems and there haven’t been as many as I first thought – or maybe I’m not entering the right terms into Google. Perl is favourite, Actionscript seems to be a close 2nd and I’ve even found one written in C. There’s also these written in Javascript but some of them look like cheats to me. I did find quite an interesting paper called Programming as Poetry which compares the linguistic similarities between the act of programming and the act of writing poetry.

I also found obfuscated code turned into pictures. You can see them here.
