Codem Ipsum: Lorem Ipsum but for Code

Why code in faux Latin when you can use the real thing: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;users.monash.edu&#x2F;~damian&#x2F;papers&#x2F;HTML&#x2F;Perligata.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;users.monash.edu&#x2F;~damian&#x2F;papers&#x2F;HTML&#x2F;Perligata.html</a>

The name is kind of misleading. I expected it to generate random lines of code, instead of just replacing identifiers with lorem ipsum.

Hey, I made this. I needed dummy but syntactically valid code to show in demos like this one: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pomber&#x2F;code-surfer&#x2F;blob&#x2F;code-surfer-v2&#x2F;readme.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pomber&#x2F;code-surfer&#x2F;blob&#x2F;code-surfer-v2&#x2F;re...</a>

As some others in this thread, I feel bamboozled.<p>What I was hoping for is a &quot;Lorem Ipsum&quot;-style generator for code for like 10 different languages. So you&#x27;d have a Lorem Ipsum for JS, C++, Rust, etc.<p>This is just find&#x2F;replacing identifiers with lorem ipsum, which doesn&#x27;t really mask the underlying code that well.

Lorem Ipsum but for javascript<i></i><i>

Unfortunately, this doesn’t lorem ipsum code comments.<p>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&#x2F;GitLab.

The &quot;lorem ipsum&quot; identifier names are foo, bar, baz, qux, quux, etc.

No description of what’s happening (on mobile anyway), but it looks like the variables are being replaced?

I think it should not replace the `length` property of an intentional array.

It looks like dolor is assigned without first being initialized.

It keeps throwing me<p>&quot;SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token (1:20)&quot;<p>on valid code

Where would one use this ?
