Yep. It's mostly a knee jerk reaction.

After accustomization with a style that doesn't force explicit declarations of identifiers and their types, verbose type conversions, line breaks and indentation after every statement and brace, etcetra., one could definitely make a different (and similarly exaggerated) human language metaphor. For example, take some English text and feed it through a parser. Feels good to read?

    (S (NP Parsing)
       (VP refers
           (PP to
               (NP (NP the activity)
                   (PP of
                       (S (VP analysing
                              (NP a sentence)
                              (PP into
                                  (NP its component categories and functions))))))))
       .)

That's a bit how mainstream languages feel after using something that hasn't been forced into such an artificial form :) If you're willing to let go of that, you can write sentences and clauses on the same line, almost like prose!
