> It's a shame it's so damn verbose.
When a big part of your job is to read the code from others of various skill levels, one learns to have a soft spot for verbosity.
After reading probably millions of lines of code, I find myself wishing people would learn the difference between verbosity and clarity.
More words do not necessarily lead to clearer, more understandable code.
It's a shame it's so damn verbose. A fortnight ago I was trying to brainstorm how I could put a tighter syntax on it, possibly with some kind of pre-processor. Ideas welcome!
