It's all in the name: they are programming LANGUAGES. Anyone writing (or speaking) a language poorly is difficult to understand. Be it a programming language or other. In elementary school we are taught (when writing text) that a sentence should be short and concise to be more understandable. Paragraphs should not be too long. Chunks of text should not involve too many concepts. All in the name of (good) communication. I guess many programmers should have paid more attention during elementary school classes :-) //Marius Good post, Tore. It’s all in the name: they are programming LANGUAGES.
