@PluieElectrique wow, that's.. impressive. I have a love-desperation relationship with point free code ;)

Cool work, @obxfisherman! I send you a pull request with the correct formatting for the readme. ;)

Obligatory (badly-)golfed version:

#include <time.h> //  Robert Nystrom
#define l for(y=u-1; y< u+h+2; y++)\
for  (x = t - 1; x < t + w + 2; x++)
a,b,d,e,f,h,j,k,n,u,t,w,x,y;m[40][80
];g(x){return rand()%x;};cave(s){w=g
(10)+5;h=g(6)+3;t=g(80-w-2)+1;u=g(40
-h-2)+1;l if(m[y][x]==14)return;d=0;
if(!s){l{k=x<t||x>t+w;n=y<u||y>u+h ;
if(k^n&&m[y][x]==3){d++;if(!g(d))e=x
,f=y;}}if(!d)return;}l{a=x<t||x>t+w;
b=y<u||y>u+h;m[y][x]="/$ "[a+b]-33;}
if(d)m[f][e]=g(2)?7:11;for(j=0;j++<(
s?1:g(6)+1);)m[g(h)+u][g(w)+t]=s?32:
g(4)?33+g(62):4;}main(){srand(time(j
=0));for(;j<999;j++)cave(!j);for(y=0
;y<40;puts(""),y++)for(x=0;x<80;x++)
putchar(32 + (a = m[y][x])+4*!~a) ;}

Putting the @ back in left as an exercise for the reader because I'm too lazy.
Note that this relies heavily on UB as you can see from the screenful of warnings.

I found a bug where rooms are placed corner-to-corner and the door is not traversable:

..#
..'##
###..

Quick and dirty workaround (added - 1):

let s = x < left || x > left + width - 1;
let t = y < top || y > top + height - 1;

On @grownseed .js version.

Haha, I also de-obfuscated this code before coming here and seeing that other people did it too!
I've had a lot of fun in understanding how this piece of code works :)

Here's my version: https://gist.github.com/paskozdilar/48d7532733ccd11144bb43fed953c334
