True that any program can be reverse engineered. But for example with Python, you're not just handing them the program, but also the bytecode, which can be turned into source without spending much time. This gives a lot more information much faster.

I would prefer something like C++ which is about as obfuscated as you're going to get, but I'm curious if there are any higher level options that would save programming time.




Some, they are usually more obscure, e.g.:

- D

- Haskell

- OCaml

- Various Scheme/Common Lisp compilers

Some of them have Qt bindings (e.g. QtD and QtHaskell). Though it may be harder to hire programmers for any of these languages.
