Old workplace, I inherited a codebase; this was when I realized just how terrible JavaScript was, but the original author had found a way to make it worse: he had added a "Literate JS" compile step and the entire codebase was him jacking himself off about equations while the code didn't do any of the shit it was supposed to be able to do.
