The only way to truly hide code is to not give the code to the person you don't want to see it. Even languages like C have decompilers. If you truly need to prevent people from seeing code, then your only real option is to run a server and distribute a client that connects to the server. If all you need to is to discourage casual lookers from seeing the source, then you only need something like Acme::Bleach. Yes, you can unbleach the code, but it takes effort and knowledge and with those no code is safe behind any form of obfuscation (including compilation to binary).
If you are trying to hide the code because you are distributing secrets (like passwords, api keys, etc) in your code, then you have a fundamental design issue that needs to be fixed.
