Wanted to write human-readable code anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "ASSEMBLY"
"Yes please give me safe memory management. Please give me turing-complete type systems and dead code elimination" — Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Compiler Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the IDEs & linters we built for them (This is REAL Compilers, done by REAL Compiler Developers):
[Complex AST Diagram]
?????
[Monad Transformer Stack]
???????
[500-Page C++ Template Error Log]
?????????????????
"Hello I would like a mutable reference to a thread-safe atomic smart pointer please"
