Let me summarize as I'm beginning to think that Perl is a member of your family:
- You don't write code for novices
- You don't think language design has an impact on overall maintainability of the code, maintainability is all about the abstractions and naming conversions of the programmer.
- You would insist that any code you wrote should be maintained by a professional programmer.
- Readability of an algorithm has nothing to do with maintainability, if you name everything right the reader is a fool if he doesn't get it.
All I can do is wish you luck.

Also not what I wrote. > maintainability is all about.... Still not what I wrote. > You would insist that any code you wrote should be maintained by a professional programmer. That's a lot closer to what I wrote, but it's subtly wrong. > Readability of an algorithm has nothing to do with maintainability.... That's nowhere near what I wrote. > if you name everything right the reader is a fool if he doesn't get it. I've never written anything, anywhere, suggesting that idea. Please do give me some credit for having coherent thoughts based on practical experience writing widely used programs. The nuance in my parent posts wasn't particularly subtle.
