I don't think so, and readability is overrated. It often sacrifices performance and reusability, just to have things in a specific syntax, so that some people can grasp it quickly. I would rather have code that is performant, and reusable, but hard to read instead.

full disclaimer: I like pure FP, i.e. Haskell/Idris
