While APL-styled C may be one extreme, I've noticed that average code has taken an uncomfortable shift in the other direction especially within the past decade, and I find it irritating to work with a lot of the "modern" stuff as it's far too verbose and needlessly indirect. I suspect the rise of strongly lowest-common-denominator lame coding standards and the desire by corporations to make programmers easily replaceable dunces is to blame for that insipidness.

(Aside: odd domain names like the one in this article I normally ignore in search results since they're usually full of SEO'd spam, but if one makes it to HN it's usually worth a look.)
