I have long been arguing that this is exactly what "readability" means. Readability is completely subjective, and depends on personal experience with various languages, types of syntax and so on.
- epgui 3y agoI am okay with your definition of "readability", but only insofar as you use it to criticize the reader. Code should be judged on its own merit, and in that case your definition of "readability" doesn't really help us go anywhere.
