which gets back to the original point that these languages have chosen to be more powerful over being more immediately readable. you have to know many more features of the language to understand what is going on compared to colloquially used constructs like if/then or for loops. If you understand english you are a lot closer to understanding the latter rather than the former, more domain specific syntax.
- serhart 7y agoI don't agree at all. I don't find it less "readable". You just have to be used to it. If you understand English, German isn't that hard of a language to learn. Japanese would probably be a little bit harder to pick up though. Doesn't mean Japanese is unreadable
