That’s because it’s not the source. It’s not the preferred way of modifying the program. The state diagram is the preferred way of modifying the program.
It’s not even that. I can generally read a C-like language, but when the first line I see is a long-ass array of bytes with zero documentation it just makes me not want to even try.
While I agree with the premise of the article, the code is completely unreadable to me. I took a look at the first snippet and just thought “Nah.”
