I'm very confused, why is this so upvoted, someone mind explaining?

It's a fascinating bit of information that demands minimal time to absorb and comprehend. It's a refreshing break from the usual content seen here while still being intellectually stimulating.

It directly relates to the recent ETL (Extract - Transform - Load) thread patterns.

I look forward to near future efforts with the Sleaford Mods' Blog Maggot.

I'm guessing other people found it intellectually stimulating.

It's the degree of compression that can be achieved, from 7 words to 2.

English can do reasonably well if you don't mind poetic sounding language (and, to be fair, Shakespeare compressed down a lot of things into shorter, poetic idioms we use today). Something like her farewells overran, perhaps.

People found this interesting.

People upvoted.

Not only that, I actually clicked to read the article!

I am not sure why I upvoted this. Perhaps because I have dealt with C, C++, Java, JavaScript and some Python. I know a smattering of French, German, Dutch, Japanese and Czech. So perhaps that too. Or perhaps because of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis.

Aside from anything else, human language and its comprehension is an important aspect of AI, and the sheer variety among grammars is a salient feature that cannot be ignored.
