I agree. My first language was C and I went through a phase of cramming as much code as I could into one line because the language would let me. I came to realize that this a) did not create more efficient code. The compiler has still had to turn it into machine code. b) Most important. It made it very difficult for the programmers that followed. A great deal of the value of code is how quickly and easily it can be debugged and modified after it is initially written. This is a huge factor in terms of cost and efficiency.
