Unfortunately, this doesn’t lorem ipsum code comments.
I also wonder how large such an obfuscated code fragment would need to be to be able to find back the original code on GitHub/GitLab.

#12The name is kind of misleading. I expected it to generate random lines of code, instead of just replacing identifiers with lorem ipsum.
I thought the same thing.

#13It looks like dolor is assigned without first being initialized.

#14Why code in faux Latin when you can use the real thing: http://users.monash.edu/~damian/papers/HTML/Perligata.html
I didn't expect it, but I thought Perligata is more readable than Perl.

No, it's passed in as a parameter with a default value of 1

For whatever it's worth, I didn't share your expectation. The real lorem ipsum is just a fixed load of text, after all - describing something as "lorem ipsum but for code" shouldn't necessarily imply any functionality.
Given that lorem ipsum is a fixed load of text, as you said, I would have expected a lorem ipsum for code to be a fixed load of code (that's nonsensical but looks real enough from afar).

#19Hey, I made this. I needed dummy but syntactically valid code to show in demos like this one: https://github.com/pomber/code-surfer/blob/code-surfer-v2/re...
Wait, this is just for dummy code for demos? I've been using at work for our production system. I figured the compiler would catch any mistakes...
