Sure. But as I said: some constructs are an invitation for abuse.

I certainly can't speak for you. Personally, I found the way how
approach and style of the various IOCCC winners varied over the years
quite entertaining and enlighting. Contrary to what you seem to
believe,  it's not just l'art pour l'art only. Sometimes, it exposes
and pinpoints weaknessses of the language, giving hints about what to
look out for in real code - and, perhaps, what to avoid in language
design.
