I just love seeing stuff like this. It's a great way of bringing home a point that seems to confound many programmers: Joe Programmer often claims that because he can't read language foo, it must be bad. If Joe can't read it, then Joe can't read it and that's about all one can infer from that statement. I've heard fascinating things about Lisp and Haskell and I've played around with Prolog (great language!). None of these have, to me, an intuitive syntax. If people avoid languages because they look scary, no one would ever have started programming; even BASIC can look scary if you've never programmed :)

Cheers,
Ovid

Side note: I now think BASIC looks scary because I have programmed.
