why i++ is clearer than i=i+1

In general basic and computer languages try to approximate english sentences. I certainly use english approximations when I program.

I want to add 1 to a variable. The simplest English sentence is

"add 1 to variable a".

Not

"make variable a equal to the original value of variable a plus 1"

Nobody is talking about a morph into C. And nobody would be forcing you to
use such syntax.

Maybe you shoudl put is  feature request for a language called
REALC+=   ? ;)
