It must be plain TeX since there's no reference to \documentclass.

    The proper reason why it cannot be LaTeX is that the file starts with typesettable letters (int), and LaTeX doesn't allow typesettable letters before \begin{document}. Actually it is plain TeX.

    What has changed since 2005: rot13-encryption of the plain TeX part (so it is no longer obvious which poem it prints), and the long initial string of the C/C++ part is made more compact, especially the #define q line.
