In addition to Robert Klemme's points, consider that readability
is a function not only of the language (and the writer's style), but
also of the reading audience. If you find a language that you can read
with ease and perhaps even with delight but that is inscrutable to
99.44% of other programmers, "effective readability" suffers.
Cretan Linear A (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_A>) may be
the most readable, expressive, and beautiful language ever invented,
but nobody knows for sure.
