That's silly - this isn't Ruby. It's a new language still under development and thus will have its own syntax. Obviously any language will be unreadable if you don't understand its grammar (syntax). Readability is tied to the syntax of a programming language. (And Ruby is great example of this - I am used to Python and I found reading Ruby code to be very cumbersome because of its weird syntax, which I didn't bother to learn). This a C / C++ / D like language.
