I do like the principle of thinking about code readability. But unless you're writing an introductory tutorial, your code should absolutely not be optimized for reading by people who know nothing about the language. You should try to make it readable for the people who will actually be working with the code.

Optimizing code for people who don't know anything about the language basically means sticking as close to the C or Python way of doing things as possible. If your language is significantly different from C, this is obviously not going to be a global maximum of readability.
