    A simpler language many people know (math) to one of the imfinite dialect of a language most people don’t speak.

    Left representation is definitely more readable and understanded by more people

      >Left representation is definitely more readable

      Hard disagree. The right can be read linearly. You know, the way humans read.

      I sucked balls at precalc, but I’m pretty decent at programming. I suppose, with enough practice, one becomes “fluent” in mathematical notation, but the C-style language definitely reads more naturally. The mathematical notation is what I’d call “too much abstraction.”

      >and understanded by more people

      I don’t know the stats, but I have to imagine, by this point, there are more programmers than mathematicians.
