"Clipper-derived unreadable drivel"

I'm intrigued, what language are you working in?

Clipper v5 was a pretty impressive development language for 1990 - with 
code blocks, a flexible pre-processor, garbage collection, exception 
handling, decent speed and an API to allow easy integration with 
routines written in c.

It doesn't have to be unreadable at all (unless it's written by someone 
who thinks it is dBase).
