​True. I love it. But most Perl code is, by design, already rather obscure.
Some of the "idioms​" used (like slurping input and then doing a single
regexp to replace something in the entire "document" at once rather than
line by line) are not obvious just from reading the language definitions.
So there is no need for a contest to make it so (C, on the other hand,
tends to be more "straight forward" as it is normally programmed).
