The rationale I've heard is that taking the time to read the code written in this style doesn't take longer than if it was written in a more conventionally verbose style, but more fits on the screen, so it can be comprehended more easily once it's understood. I don't really buy that for C, because the language is so ugly and hard to read in normal style, but for array languages it strikes me as being true.
