But now I am getting confused with the level of verbosity, the level of explicitly has led to implicit complexity.
Enjoy the verbosity. It makes for excellent maintenance down the track. There is no ambiguity about what is happening if you name your variables correctly. For what it's worth, I once wrote an 8080 disassembler in COBOL. That was 40-odd years ago. It's still maintainable because of its verbosity, though I doubt if I'd have the patience to do so these days.
