There was a snippet I saw a while ago where someone made C look like Java for a joke, using macros. I wish I could find it to share here, it's great.

The original bourne shell source was using mac.h ( https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd... ), a bunch of macros, according to wikipedia, "to give the C source code an ALGOL 68 flavor."

Here's the original source tree, if you're interested: https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd...
