- 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.
