APL’s a toddle; at least it ain’t MUMPS, right?

When you have a language where sample code online is all offered in images since it can’t even be expressed in human writing, isn’t that a bit more than a toddle?

MUMPS ain’t really human either, is it?

And doesn’t APL get you out in the fresh air?

What human wouldn’t delight in getting to do a job involving reading this?
You mean when you flee the office never to return?

Can I start a trend of Lebowski’ing people when they seriously need to chillax?

Hasn’t the fiddly crazyness of Clearcase administration tempted me to do that?

Wow, how much of your job involves keying all that crazy stuff? What does it mean?!?

Do you know how happy I am that my job doesn’t involve any APL (that’s poor @PatRx2) or MUMPS (though @anotherone does)?
I work in Ruby, Java, and C - isn’t this C from a Linux kernel module fairly intuitive?
if ((flags & TH_ACK) && ((flags & TH_SYN) == 0) && ((flags & TH_RST) == 0) && ((flags & TH_FIN) == 0)) { if (template && atomic_read(&template->capture_mode)) { if (window_probe == MODE_WINDOW_PROBE_TYPE) { log_msg(DBG_PACKETS | DBG_INFO, mk_msg("capture mode on, responding to window probe packet\n", 0)); window = 0; } else { log_msg(DBG_PACKETS | DBG_INFO, mk_msg("capture mode on, not window probe, not responding to packet\n", 0)); return 0; } } else { if (con->window) { window = con->window; } } }

Would I be correct if I said yes, it is fairly intuitive? 
Am I not more familiar/comfortable with really long nested formulas in Excel?

Wasn’t it more like a banana who realized a personal time-out was a good idea, but is someone we are all very much looking forward to “seeing” again around these parts?

Wouldn’t it be forthcoming of me to admit that I do not know about that to which you are referring?
Was that not before my time?

Isn’t deliberately obfuscated code gruesome no matter what language it’s written in?
Would you like a link to some much more readable M source , that implements a game of Tetris?
[Edit: Doesn’t the obfuscated example refuse to compile in either of the two most common M implementations? Aren’t there at least four syntax errors, one of which I can’t figure out at all due to the “clever” indirection, and I’m pretty good at this?]

Oh did you just ninja edit that question mark?
And shouldn’t it be if was hard to write it should be hard to understand?

Do you know why we Threat Level 3 folks get to edit the topic titles? Doesn’t that seem like a kind of random feature?

Isn’t it that we’re “trusted” enough to make corrections? Doesn’t it sort of backfire since we don’t have permission to post in Boing?

Isn’t that’s not a negative number greater than zero, though?

Wouldn’t it not be unlike that negation if it were not?
No?
