"readability" bullshit

If we taught human languages the way most programming languages are being taught today, everyone would have the equivalent vocabulary of a 10-year-old and never be able to read or write sentences containing more than one verb, one adjective, one adverb, and one noun. "Unsafe" words like "science", "thinking", and "brain" would be banned from common use and restricted only to the "experts" (i.e. governments and the other fat pigs at the top), and anyone who tried to break free would be considered a terrorist.

The next time someone tries to tell you that your code is "unreadable", ask them how much of their human language they knew when they were 5.

You have a brain: use it or lose it.

using macros to do control flow more complex than foreach would be considered a 'clever' trick in C (unless you're FrozenVoid)
Actually, the point was that you can do functional programming with macros..text macros are incredibly underused and feared by mainstream C projects. You can increase code density by orders of magnitude if macros are used aggressively(it reduces the readability but increases productive).
