For the programs that I saw (for example in the datafiles, MATER71). I can say that they are great programs, but readable? No all the parts (note: if I strip away the entire article around the program. Otherwise with such articles they are understandable).


For me understandable means: if I expose an algorithm to a random person, new to it but not alien to algorihtms in general. One should get the gist of it without debugging (with the help of the system or manually) with some test input. And programs with little commands, many variables with single letter (but even 2-3) and so on are far from being readable. Already adding comments helps to understand an algorithm.

Even less when the program is packed. Like cmd1 cmd2 cmd3 cmd4 cmd5 and so on on the same line. Can be RPL, basic or what you want. It is not that readable.

Anyway I don't want to convince anyone, I gave my point of view and I acknowledge that for some writing (what I find is) cryptic code is ok and then strangely complains about the same in RPL/awk/perl/what not. Such is life.

Wikis are great, Contribute :)
