There are tradeoffs. The syntax was explicitly designed to be eminently readable, because our target audience were groups who were not traditionally programmers, but who might still be highly technical. For this group of people, they may not take readily to C++, but are instead more comfortable with languages like Python and SQL. Perhaps skimming code suffers from this design, but we thought we could mitigate that by adding other avenues for navigating code, such as a table of contents. We also made some progress in automatically annotating blocks of code based on what they do, to make filtering, sorting, and searching code richer.
