It can be, yes, but it certainly doesn't have to be.  I've made
semantic changes to perl code without even learning perl (well, no more
than I learned by reading over the code, at elast), so it's obviously
not a *totally* WORN language.

But then, code in any language can be opaque if the coder makes it so.
