  You can write unreadable code in any language. "Look, here's some unreadable code in your language" doesn't tell us much of anything. That said... looking at your first example, it's really not that bad. It could probably be rewritten to be quite a bit clearer, but even knowing nothing about the library or surrounding context, it doesn't take me that much thinking to work out what's going on: We have a dictionary implemented as a sorted list of pairs, and a list of records we want to update that dictionary with (after some transformation). If there are no records, we give back the dictionary unmodified. If there is no dictionary, we build one out of the records. If there is both a dictionary and a bunch of records, we do a recursive merge of the two - compare the heads of each list, cons the smaller on the result of the appropriate recursive call.
