When you get right down to it, many computer languages are obscure and not
really self explanatory.  You just need to know the language.  It might take
a while to thoroughly understand it.  Is RPG unique in obscurity?

How about C?

 #define FD_SET(fd, fds)  \
          (fds)->fdes[ (fd)/32 ]  |= ( 1 << ( (fd)%32 ) )

That's crystal clear... not.  Until you know how to read it.


IMO it's all a matter of knowing as much as possible about as many features
as possible.

 |  It doesn't' matter how long it's been used, it's obscure.
 |  It's not self
