I'm looking for a kind of "lorem ipsum" but not for text, for code. Some kind of random code generator with configurable language to test code rendering, compare programming fonts, etc. Any suggestions?

    @vane sounds like they’re comparing syntax aesthetics. I just generate the blurbs and change the font manually.

    @toriyuno so it’s a question about syntax highlighting library then ?

    Generate random bytes. Treat as assembly. Disassemble. Transpile to language of your choice.

    It'll be absolute garbage, and will fail quite often, but will be random code.

    @vane here's a quick example I wrote up to explain.

    Python vs Javascript for "hello world".

    @toriyuno hmm the python version is a bit complex, could you add some comments to explain it a bit better?

    @Codex404 I admit it's more complicated than necessary. I miss the days of bracketless print statements :(
