Obfuscated Erlang/OTP competition @ the User Conference

[Francesco Cesarini (Erlang Training & Consulting)]

Oh dear, if in total shock and disbelief, than you should stay well away 
from the Erlang user conference, as it will give you goosebumps when we 
present the winners. I would class the submissions handed in so far as 
both elegant and abusive! A one liner submitted has in fact been used in 
a live network... And the author has not told us what it does. We should 
maybe have a competition to figure it out ;-)

You still have November 4th for your submissions, so hurry...

Regards,,
Francesco
