Added mention of Parrot JAPHs
Line 33:
 
This phrase was popularized by [[Randal L. Schwartz]], who created most of the first such programs in the signatures of his postings to the [[Usenet newsgroup]] comp.lang.perl (the predecessor to the modern comp.lang.perl.misc).
 
A variant of this, practiced by programmers working on the [[Parrot virtual machine|Parrot]] project, involves Parrot assembly programs printing the phrase "Just another Parrot hacker":
 
# OO obfuscated
bounds 1
trace 0
newclass P0, "Just another Parrot Hacker\n"
shift S0, P5
does I0, P0, S0
add I0, 4
bsr I0
pack S0, 381, I0, I0
invoke
ret
 
Often Parrot JAPHs are only lightly obfuscated; they're usually intended to demonstrate or test a feature in a non-trivial use.
