@disappearinjon @palmin I don't know my poll question is phrased well enough to tease out that gap... But I'm not sure the gap is as wide (for most devs) as many believe.

I've read Knuth, for instance. He's inscrutable. It is, perhaps, the case that his programs in his tutorial language don't count as "well-written programs" in this sense (perhaps partially because his example language is one step removed from assembly).
