perl

A programming language popular on *nix systems.

For some reason, Perl programmers find the need to write programs as small as possible. Many have attributed this to a similar phenonenom for unintelligent men to compensate for the size of their manhood by purchasing large, powerful cars. Instead of compensating by showing how immense their purchasing power (and in many cases, debt) is, Perl programmers compensate by showing how large their brains are.

Unfortunatley, this results in much Perl code to be somewhat difficult to understand by just looking at.

Somebody with way too much time on his hands wrote MoleSter, a functional P2P app in just 6 lines of perl.
