One can go too far and be 'politically correct', as some have in this
thread, and assert that 'all languages are equally readable' or some
other such nonsense.  The truth is that some are more readable than
others; personally I liked seeing the Sather example, as it was particularly
elegant.  We may not all _agree_ as to which languages are more readable,
but that doesn't make them all equally readable.
