The idea was briefly kept alive in the form of the Underhanded Rust Contest[0], announced in 2016, but there were some practical problems organising it, according to an attempt in 2019 to revive it again.[1]

IOCCC is still running https://www.ioccc.org/
It is not exactly the same but it has a lot of the same vibe.

So has it gotten revived or is it only kept for posterity now?
There have been a couple of underhanded solidity contests (smart contracts on ETH), inspired by this.

Nice to people constantly putting the code examples to good use in real projects.

even though it's well known and regularly appears on hn, the international obfuscated c code contest still needs to be mentioned here.

> Like several entries, this short (99 line) submission filters out dirty words, with an array of curse-replacement pairs, e.g. { “fnord”, “fn*rd”, “Matlab”, “M****b” }.
Hilarious writing. It's sad to think most of these submissions can just be innocent day to day use cases

I would love to see a yaml themed version of the contest. It feels like just as much of a minefield as anything else.

What happened to the 2015 contest results?
I guess my failing to notice that it wasn't updated for 5+ years may correlate, somehow, to the reason it was down...?
