The document describes a talk given by Yusuke Endoh on esoteric and obfuscated programming in Ruby. Some key points:
- Endoh is a committer for MRI Ruby and works on performance improvements at Cookpad.
- He demonstrates programming in Ruby using only symbol characters to produce "Hello, World!" output.
- Endoh also shows code written using only alphabetic characters to produce the same output, by abusing features of Ruby's open classes and control structures.
- The goal is to explore Ruby's power and flexibility by writing very unusual code, inspired by esoteric programming languages like Brainfuck.
