So, you basically want to write in assembler, which printed is very verbose, and it's very easy to understand each separate instruction.

What I want is the language to minimize language entities used to do a task (from parser's perspective those would be AST nodes), and I want those tasks to be general and high-level. This is what makes source code comprehensible, not verbosity.

Each instruction may be easy to understand, but the programs are not easy to understand at scale. So that's probably not what stevoo wants.

Of course it's not (or rather, I would be surprised if it was), but he phrased it in very wrong way.

Please don't do that: You took what he said, jumped to the most extreme case, and then attributed it back to him. He never implied that he wanted to write in assembler. In fact, based on the part you didn't quote, I think he would not want to work in assembler.

You may dislike this form, but it shows exactly why stevoo's opinion is formed on wrong basis.

I have hard time to understand what he meant in this sentence:

> Dealing with thousands of line trying to figure out what is going on there it is essential to easily pick up what is going on !

Is it a praise of having plenty of code for a simple thing? Or is it a rant?
