To me as well, good readability means not having to read too much.

Here is a code example from the front page of the official Python website [python.org]:

  >>> numbers = [2, 4, 6, 8]
  >>> product = 1
  >>> for number in numbers:
  ...    product = product * number

Compared to the Ruby equivalent,

  product = [2, 4, 6, 8].inject(:*)

this feels like unnecessary bloat that makes it harder to understand what is going on in the larger picture, i.e. the unit of code this is a part of.
