    If it were, there is a chance that I -would- be able to imagine it. As
it is, those of us who do not have a mathematical mind need to break it down
in to steps to be able to understand it at all. When I see example code like
this it takes me hours to turn it into nested statements so that I can
absorb it in bite sized chunks.

    If pov is just for programmers and mathematicians then I should just
give up now. I mean when guy like Warp...

main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):_;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

    ...says something is "easier and more intutive", I know that I will get
lost right away. My skills are in other areas.
