I certainly would not call myself a Mathematica expert,
though I have been "playing" with Mathematica for 10 years.
For me, it is not clear and easy to understand.

My 2 cents

To an experienced Mathematica user, is the following snippet clear, and
easy
to understand, or simply an exercise in obfuscation? Assume I already
have
px,py and m[] lying around.

px = {1, 0}; 
py = {0, 1};

m[th_] := {{Cos[th], Sin[th]}, {-Sin[th], Cos[th]}}

crossPoint[p_, th_:0, L_:0.5] := 
  Arrow[##,HeadLength -> 0.015]&@@#&/@(p+#.m[th]&/@{-#, #}&/@(L{px,
py}))
