Poll:
How readable is the code of this languages?
I do not want to give an exact definition of "readable", but it should
include each of this questions with ~25%:
- Can someone who has never seen the language before understand what the
program is doing without reference material?
- Can a developer write code that they can return to after six months
and still understand it?
- Can you use this language for teaching basics of programming and for
showing, how an easy algorithm works?
- What is your general optionion about his language?

PS: I know, that a NG is not the best place for a poll, and some people
do not like questions like this in a NG.
But as I want to get opinions of many programmers, including users of
NGs, I hope you can accept it.
