Ah!!! This is exactly how I see things. Now all that needs to be done, is comparing a Java/C/C++ implementation of that same code and count the number of {}, [] and (). Quite and interesting result 🙂
Good post, actually I've been reading your posts and generally I like them, even if I don't agree with you (e.g. clojure) I like how you make me think about things.
