I agree. It was always confusing me from the first time I looked at
some C-source. =3D)

And especially I had a hard time translating an LZSS-implementation
from C to Pascal that didn't know all these fscking post- and
preincrements in indexing some array structures in a single line.

That's why I like Ada so much. All this obfuscating stuff simply
doesn't exist.
