> But your point is nothing more than a tautology. "You understand something you chose to learn and understand" It's not a tautology. Especially in a language like Haskell, where it's very easy to write incomprehensible programs, even to experts, by following “common sense” principles. > The other version, however, is more readable to anyone who isn't a software developer by profession, but has been exposed to at least some code or even pseudo-code. It's the difference between turning people off of programming versus keeping them interested. I don't want to turn anyone off, but I also don't want to make an effort to accommodate people who aren't willing to learn. If other people like programming for what it is, that's great! If they don't, well, that's okay too. To each their own.
