    it’s not useful for programming and it makes code more verbose, poorly structured, and requires too many attempts to get a mildly useful block.

      poorly structured,

      yes, that’s bad

      requires too many attempts to get a mildly useful block.

      yes, that’s bad

      more verbose,

      How is that bad? I can’t count how many times I’ve revisited my work a year or more later, and wondered what I was thinking, having taken 2 minutes to parse something dense that I wrote, and then thought “why didn’t I make this a little clearer at the time?”
