Keyword being "shouldn't". C++ doesn't care about that, it just hands you the loaded gun.

I wouldn't call bad readability a loaded gun really. Your dev tools will hopefully make it pretty easy to learn the type. It should be a minor inconvenience at best.

Bad readability is a problem cause by the developer, not the language. Anyone can crank out unreadable symbol soup in any language, if that's what they want/can deliver.

Blaming the programming language for the programmer's incompetence is very telling, so telling there's even a saying: A bad workman always blames his tools.
