This is so true its funny. I wrote c64 machine code and assembly still looks ridiculous. How is NOP easier to remember than AE? Every time I see base64 in JSON

This is so true its funny. I wrote c64 machine code and assembly still looks ridiculous. How is NOP easier to remember than AE? Every time I see base64 in JSON I'm reminded how much better life is if you make the effort to design a data format for a specific purpose. When I looked at all the convenient things in jquery some functions had just one line in them (I need help with this?), other things were so "good" they had me wonder why that isn't simply part of js. I'm aware how unreasonable it is in how you cant win either way. I cant wait for the day some kind of GUI programming glued onto excel takes over the world so that we can all simultaneously raise our fist at the screen like grumpy old men.
