Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
import builtins
def HelloWorld(funcname):
getattr(builtins, funcname)("HelloWorld")
HelloWorld("print")
Edit, improved:
import inspect, builtins
def HelloWorld(funcname):
caller = inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name
getattr(builtins, funcname)(caller)
HelloWorld("print")
Perl time:
sub AUTOLOAD {
our $AUTOLOAD=~s/.*:://;
no strict;
local $_=$_[0] and *STDOUT->$_($AUTOLOAD)
}
HelloWorld("print");
Pro: You can Give HelloWorld any (syntactically valid) name you like and (as long as the parameter is "print", anyway) its name will be printed, no pre-declaration required.
Con: The specified function inside the quotes has to be a method associated with a file descriptor.
Sometimes I wish there were Easter eggs like this in programming languages. But then, people would just be using these Easter eggs for everything
I'm not surprised by anything at this point
