I thought the same. Perhaps we can think of a way to do it? The only thing coming to mind is either using a markov chain or a char-RNN to generate code files. The latter has been done here: http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/
In that vein, perhaps one can view code golf as a sort of programming analogue of Oulipo—or maybe even functional programming (try to write code without using mutation!).
Potential Literature is about finding meaning in things. Meaning is human-made anyways, so anyone can find meaning in the most random of things. Having a randomly-generated, but still structured, text can allow for new meaning to come through. Think SubredditSimulator - generating random stuff, and letting the users find/create meaning for it.
