Think of how liberating it would be if you could just write pseudo-code, and the computer would figure out what you meant, instead of complaining about a missing semi-colon. I've noticed Lisp, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc. hackers don't tend to talk about "pseudo-code", and I believe it's that they think in their chosen notation, rather than mentally compiling it. I know I do. I think in JavaScript, not "pseudo-code". Not that I wouldn't opt for more elegant notation (e.g. CoffeeScript).
