You have been talking about array languages on HN for at least 6 years, and still refuse to believe that anyone can read them!

What do you have to gain from this stance, and why don't you believe people who tell you otherwise?

It's not a question of can they read them, it's are they readable. I obviously don't believe things just because people say them. Do you?

When it comes to subjective opinions, what other choice do you have? Your idea of doing studies is interesting but that's not even been done for most languages, yet claiming "python is unreadable" would clearly be laughable.

Either everyone who uses array languages does actually find them readable, or they're all persistently lying for... what reason? And forcing themselves to use something they don't find readable? Why would anyone do that! Especially considering a lot of array language users are hobbyists, who have chosen to use them, it's not like they're forced to.
