I suspect that the average coder will find Python-style iterators much easier to read.

    def fibo():
        a, b = 1, 1
        while True:
            yield a
            a, b = b, a + b

The average speaker would find Mandarin easier to read than any other language. That does not say anything about the effectiveness of Mandarin over other languages.
