&gt; If you&#x27;re not, it looks like gibberish. But that&#x27;s true of any language.<p>That&#x27;s not true though. I&#x27;m not familiar with C++, for example, but it doesn&#x27;t look like gibberish when I look at it. Nor does Go, as another example, even though I&#x27;ve never written a line of it.<p>CoffeeScript, on the other hand, still is hard for me to parse—even as someone who has written thousands of lines for it.<p>There are very real differences in readability between languages.
