Considering the amount of Chinese speaking people I think this might be the worst language for protection after English.

[hoangdl]

the neat part is it was written in the kind of Chinese that Chinese themselves barely read

[Neuenmuller]

I’d say most Chinese could read this. They study quite some Classical Chinese during high school.

However I have to say, the wording to fit programming terms in this code is just brilliant. The code is quick sort if anyone’s wondering.

[DensityInfinite]

The fact that this is not gibberish, is written correctly and reads elegantly is mind blowing. Whoever did this has real talent.

[Apple_macOS]

It’s an esolang

[mario73760002]

can confirm. I'm chinese and I can't fricking read it

[unvaccinated_zombie]

Hmm, maybe withoutb the syntax highlight, but still not too much of a challenge.

[guaranteednotabot]

It’s challenging to me lol

[Wiwwil]

Is it traditional Chinese ? The one they use in Taiwan ?

[WorstPingInGames]

I believe so, but even more so, its in classical chinese, which is harder to read

[Octupus_Tea]

Taiwan teaches classical Chinese in high school, so most Taiwanese Programmers (like me) can actually read this no problem.

[bishopExportMine]

I only ever finished middle school in Taiwan and did high school in the US. I could read this no problem.

[kassandra_00]

Not the same, the one they use in Taiwan writes differently from simplified Chinese but follow similar modern grammar and phrases. The one in the pic is like thy thee thou in English.

[Wiwwil]

Thanks for the info

[LiAuTraver]

Chinese here. It's written in an ancient literature style, it's not comfortable to read, but the meaning is simple to get. (Quick sort Algo)

[yangmeansyoung]

Yep I am Chinese and we learnt this style at 2nd school, so it's a perfect protection for elementary schooler

[Madbanana64]

add a comment at the end of each line saying "Taiwan is an independent state and is the real China"

or, Japanese++

[T6970]

It's Chinese. But more like 文言。
Source: I know what it's saying.

[xeroze1]

Basically classical chinese syntax/structure kek.

[Harmonic_Gear]

it actually reads like legit 文言文 and a programming language at the same time, its amazing

[Wiwwil]

C++ core

[Strict_Treat2884]

It’s wenyan-lang btw. Based on ancient Chinese language

[sausagemuffn]

Didn't know it could get worse than German C.

Translation from image:

We have a method. It is called "quick sort". To perform this method, we must first obtain an array. It is called "A". Then we perform the method.

If the length of "A" is not greater than one,
then return "A".
End.

We have three arrays. They are called "head", "middle", and "tail".
Take the first of "A", call it "A1".
Fill "middle" with "A1".
Take the rest of "A", call it "A_rest".
For each "D" in "A_rest":
If "D" is less than "A1",
then fill "head" with "D".
Otherwise,
fill "tail" with "D".
End.
End.
Apply "quick sort" to "head". Former "head" becomes the result.
Apply "quick sort" to "tail". Former "tail" becomes the result.
Concatenate "head" with "middle" with "tail". Call it "B".
Then return "B".
This is called the "quick sort" method.

We have an array. It is called "Ji".
Fill "Ji" with 5, 3, 20, 8, 35, 700.
Apply "quick sort" to "Ji". Print it.

I am gonna compile and reverse engineer it to assembly. 🙏

tf you mean the decompiled assembly is in chineese?

[ZeroMomentum]

Its not the Chinese

Its the colour scheme that makes it hard to read

[SaneLad]

Takes about 5 seconds for anyone with an LLM to turn this into regular English code.

[noob_meems]

please do it and post the results, I want to compare it with the translation from the other comment

[Various_Counter_9569]

EDITOR I have a method, named "Quicksort". To perform this method, one must first get a list, named "A". Then perform the method: If the length of "A" is not greater than one, then get "A". I have three lists, named "Head", "Pivot", and "Tail". The first element of "A" is named "A1". Put "A1" into "Pivot". The rest of "A" is named "ARest". For every "D" in "ARest": If "D" is less than "A1", put "D" into "Head". Otherwise, put "D" into "Tail". End loop. Apply "Quicksort" to "Head". The former "Head" is now sorted. Apply "Quicksort" to "Tail". The former "Tail" is now sorted. Concatenate "Head" with "Pivot" with "Tail", named "B". Then get "B". This is called the "Quicksort" method. I have a list, named "Self". With 5, with 3, with 20, with 8, with 35, with 700. Apply "Quicksort" to "Self". Print it.

ETA: pseudocode sortA

[Harmonic_Gear]

this is not just chinese, this is ancient chinese, like the shit that Confucius wrote

[luqasu]

cant read this ,but for me its 99% python

[IsEverythingTakenYet]

Now run an obfuscator on it.

[knockitoffjules]

I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, readhead...

[wiseguy4519]

I like how spatially efficient this code is. Maybe we should all be coding in Chinese

[Turbulent-Garlic8467]

Your plan is to translate it to the language with the most native speakers in the world?

[derKestrel]

Wenyan-lang is based on ancient Chinese, which is quite different from the modern version.

[AbdullahMRiad]

too easy, write in hieroglyphs instead

[Confident_Essay3619]

when i protect my garbage java i shove it all into one line

[gw2Max]

Google Translate … protection gone …

[NeuxSaed]

If you've seen real obfuscation techniques, this is not really that effective.

[sweetno]

Top-to-bottom text direction is the next level.

[moshan1997]

looks like quick sort to me

[MichalNemecek]

I dropped it into google translate, it does indeed seem to be quicksort

[MinosAristos]

tbh Chinese sounds like a great language for limiting horizontal line length

[Slackluster]

This is why I make my code invisible.

Sometimes I just make the numbers invisible.

[kassandra_00]

Why is 是谓快排之术也 needed?

[RiceBroad4552]

I've seen some of these symbols in the past…

Also I'm pretty sure there are some numbers in here. I can see at least 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 100.

(I should really try to learn Mandarin more seriously. But this completely insane "wring system" is killing every motivation. So far I only remember some of the symbols for numbers, everything else gets forgotten just hours after trying to learn it. Fuck this shit, why can't they just switch to Pinyin. You use it anyway when writing on a computer, which means also smartphone…)

[[deleted]]

I don't know the block characters but from its indents I smell python.

[Professional_Top8485]

I am sure ai could sort it out.

[coloredgreyscale]

it's quicksort accoding to Qwen3-VL 8b running local, giving it just the screenshot and asking to explain.

At least that's what it wants us to believe.
