} On the other hand, you could *read* COBOL. You didn't have monstrosities

} 
} a=c.split('&amp;'); for(i=0;i&lt;a.length;i++) { a[i]=a[i].split(':');
} this[a[i][0]]=unescape(a[i][1]); }
} 
} Not too terribly complex if you know C++, but you get the idea. ;)

Corollary:

You can write FORTRAN code in any programming language.
