I adore Crockford's literary style of writing code, with copious comments, etc. I think there's a reason devs write so much more code than they read; code isn't written to be read, so it's a more significant cognitive load. I wish I had the courage (?) to write verbose comments into my code at work, but I also want to keep it tidy for everyone.
