Bah what an horror. I doubt anyone can spot a more unreadable language (except maybe brainfuck).
One of the issues I have with C++ is that they seem to have used basically all the symbols you can find on a keyboard to create unspellable operators or modifiers, and since they didn't have enough to avoid colliding with C, they mixed them to create even more unreadable combinations. The other examples in the doc are good readings as well suggesting I never approach this "modern art".

- krylon 9y agoI think the reason is that adding new keywords to the language always means the risk of breaking somebody's code. I can see why a standardization body would want to avoid that, even though I agree wholeheartedly the result is not pretty.
