Ha!! Okay, now I have to explain to my fellow bus passengers what it
is that I just cracked up laughing at...

You know what? I don't think I can.

I do like readable code, but quite a few of my favorite language
features are the ones commonly (ab)used to make unreadable code. C's
?: operator, Pike's interpretation of || for defaults, Python's lambda
functions... all great ways to shorten your code, but so easily used
for evil.

I think I like things that can be used for evil.
