I believe people have strong feelings about what is readable and what is not. Most people have this subjective definition of "readable" which is basically something between "I can read it" and "people I work with/like can read it". This definition is difficult to work with for a number of reasons, but if you are trying to convince someone there's value in reading and writing code sufficiently alien, it's at a minimum a massive barrier to progress. Disclaimer: I can read code like this, and while I've let Aaron try to teach me Tai Chi, I don't use Dyalog or co-dfns.
