I see the sibling comment about obfuscation, but not sure I follow either of you. Is this code not clear?

To me the code reads with humor and creativity, while every bit as self-evident as a Gary Larson FarSide cartoon on second glance. I mean, what else is nomoroboto going to do than what it does?

I've never seen this tone in the wild before, but got a kick out of it, might even find it refreshing maintaining it.

squints I can't tell if this is trolling or not

Anyway, you're right, all code should be written in haiku form, to maximize creativity and succinctness, plus keeping methods short! True elite coders ensure variable names are always a prime number of characters

It's unfortunate, because Honk appears to be well designed otherwise, but I found it difficult enough to grok the idiosyncratic naming conventions that I gave up.
