Google's unreadable code


This is a section of one of the JavaScript files of Google's translator tool. It's an example of very badly written code, in that it's next to impossible to read. If someone was to go over this code, for example to fix a bug/improve it in some way or other, they wouldn't know where to start. Developers: Comment your code, and make it readable! It pays off.
