Rumor has it that John Allain may have mentioned these words:
I'd have to disagree - I'd think C is somewhere in the middle (well, maybe
middle right) but more to the right would be 68xx/65xx assembly, then x86 &
Lisp, but I'll agree that APL is the "king daddy" of unreadable
languages... that's why I love it so much! ;-)

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
Also reminds
me of "programmers" who can "write code" but
seem unable to read other people's code. Has anyone else
had this experience? I run into this sort of person all the time . . .
Youu could
probably make a graph of "Write Only" languages,
those that allow you to get things done, but then don't explain
themselves very well when read later.
The graph would have CoBOL and Pascal on the left side,
and c and APL on the right.
