No, your comments are ok.  But the code itself isn't easy to
understand without any knowledge about the programming language.

I asked because maybe I need something like this myself in the future.

Well, the syntax isn't very verbose and thus, not easy to remember.
I prefer programming languages where you have to remember the meaning
of words instead of the meaning of characters.  I'm not sure everybody
enjoys TeX's macro language, but it allows me at least to provide
comprehensible code, for instance

   \let\me\relax

Good night,

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
