An alternative is "whipitupitude" (the difference being the first "it".

Given the examples I've seen over the years, there's a need for an
opposite to "idiomatic", for programming that arrives at a solution by
a Rube Goldberg/Heath Robinson sort of convoluted and unnecessary
path, or utterly abuses the language in a fashion that contradicts its
underlying purpose or philosophy (writing video games in sed or
invoicing programs in Lisp). "Idiotmatic" suggests itself. :-)*
