I find it annoying when I have to search other people's
procedures for variables. A typical sequence of statements is
sprinkled with declarations (Java, C, Perl, ...) and no oher
indication of the newly introduced variables other than
two identifiers before "=" or ";".

As Dmitry says, there is an *implicit* scope only.
When I'm up the wall I speculate whether this viewpoint on language
use is driven by a desire to achieve income by obfuscation?
The tempting quick hack?

To me,  ad hoc variables between statements and Java classes fully
named in source but without "import" at the head of the source file
are similar in character.

The good news is: computers can help us with getting the
necessary "paper work" (declare block etc.) done; use a
good editor.
