Java programmers that way --> 

;)

I can easily write *code* in such a way that people will struggle to
read it.  You can never stop that.  Poor formatting, convoluted
algorithms, action at a distance, etc.  However, that's the *code*.  As
for the language, if you lean what what $class.^can($method) means,
then you know what it means.

In short, if people can't read the code I write, that's my fault.  If
they can't read the language I write in, that's their fault.

Cheers,
Ovid
