The screenshots look really nice too actually, although I'd cheekily claim
I could write similar things with less code in fluxus - but this brings up
an interesting point that arc has triggered too, is shorter code
neccisarily clearer?

At what point does it become unintelligible? It's a bit like an 'uncanny
valley' class of problem.

Programming fashion seems to be lurching back in the direction of less
text, probably because most programmers deal with C++ and Java, where
there are lots of VeryVerboseNamesForEverything :)

cheers,
