Hi,

We all know most decent coders can type in 10 finger
system or at least at some similar speed.

Now imagine you would have to code on
(not just for, ON!) a mobile phone or a console -
e.g. a device with a very limited keyboard.
You would have to repeatedly press number keys
or move an cursor over an virtual keyboard to "type"
a char.
Setting special chars would require more keypresses
than letters.

On such an environment, would you prefer either
a) some verbose language, like Pascal:

begin
for x:=1 to 10 do
begin
Writeln('This is a test');
SubFunc(x);
end;
end;

b) a more compact language (with more non-letters!),
like C:

{
for (x=1;x<11;x++)
{
cout << "This is a test/n";
SubFunc(x);
}
}

or
c) a harder to read language optimized on
compact code and little special chars like:

b
f x 1 10
b
w This is a test
c SubFunc x
e
e
