Code that appeals to us humans

Human Readable Code:

"In Refactoring to Patterns (pg. 13), Josh mentions that while looking over code before a workshop, he saw code that read: november(20, 2005) And called a method that looked like: public void Date november(int day, int year)"

I completely agree that code should be human readable. In fact, this was one of the reasons why I like languages like Ruby so much. Martin Fowler has written a good article on this and since I don't think I will be able to produce something of similar quality at this moment, I refer you to his post entitled "HumaneInterface".
