(a) that is a fairly easy to understand piece of code. Are you complaining about the definition of the inner function?
(b) the equivalent C code would look pretty similar.
(c) this is not cryptographic code
(a) I'm complaining about the messed up syntax and symbol soup.

This code is fairly easy to understand, too, then.
(b) No, it would definitely not look "pretty similar".
(c) So what? You talked about abstractions in cryptographic code. Abstractions are layers to hide things. That is bad in crypto code.
