One of the first sentences on Wikipedia about psuedocode:

> The purpose of using pseudocode is that it is easier for people to understand than conventional programming language code, and [...].

So in common usage, "psuedocode" is supposed to be easily understood. I imagine that that isn't one of the goals of this new notation, though. It looks more useful for internal use (e.g., within your team) than external use (e.g., a whiteboard interview), since it's basically unreadable if you haven't seen it before.

Yes, but this is not even close to what parent stated.

All notation has a learning curve, PHBs won't just be able to understand them without putting in some effort.
