I am a Russian speaker, and this ambiguous aspect of English has always bugged me to hell! I think english was a bad model as a starting point for programming languages.
Hackertyper is absolutely using real code.
Specifically, it's using groups.c from the Linux kernel:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/groups....
Compare that to the code used by Hackertyper:
What I was hoping for is a "Lorem Ipsum"-style generator for code for like 10 different languages. So you'd have a Lorem Ipsum for JS, C++, Rust, etc.
This is just find/replacing identifiers with lorem ipsum, which doesn't really mask the underlying code that well.
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.
"SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token (1:20)"
on valid code
