Yeah, well, I'm totally lost. Even after trying out this code, and
refactoring it once if not twice, I didn't understand it. I don't know
what point you're trying to prove, but you seem to have comprehensively
proved it.

A while ago, we had this gem:

Using currently supported syntax:
smooth_signal = [average for average in [0] for x in signal for average in
[(1-decay)*average + decay*x]]
Go ahead and understand that line in 1 go. It's currently legal syntax
for a running average for a smoothing signal, which remembers
something about it. (Subject: Proposal: A Reduce-Map Comprehension and
a "last" builtin)
You're not allowed to work it out bit by bit, just understand the
entire line or nothing. Any failure of yours proves my point.

How do you read something like " while (cmd := get_command()).token !=
CMD_QUIT:" in plain english?
while open-paren cee em dee colon is call get-underscore-command
close-paren dot token doesn't equal all-caps cee em dee underscore
quit colon.
Might be some dutch in there.
But far more importantly, I can hold the concept into my head, or just
the parts of it that I need. How we call it in english is actually not
a good argument - whether we can easily mentally parse it is, since I
tend not to code by voice command, but with a keyboard. Your mileage
may vary, but I think we should optimize for keyboard coding over
voice chat coding. And when I need to refer to it, I say "this bit
here" or I copy paste it.
