Fair point -- I do generally consider "readability" to be quite a subjective concept, with different people having different ideas of what is more or less readable.
For me personally, code that reads like natural language is generally more readable; however a) I am aware that other people have different preferences, and b) in some cases I also prefer a more "technical" approach.
- majewsky 6y agoI might be more sensitive to this topic because I'm currently learning Japanese, which has the interesting quirk of doing several grammatical constructions backwards compared to most European languages (e.g. verbs always come at the end of the sentence). If "readable" had a correlation with "similar to English", Japanese would be utterly indecipherable.
