I love math but prefer programming type syntax to express math ideas, rather than much of traditional math notation. Much of it feels too alien and non-intuitive. Too irregular and random, and not predictable. Various styles duct taped together over centuries. The names of the various symbols are hard to remember, and dont get me started on the pain from not being on the standard PC/ASCII/Western computer keyboards.<p>In short, a similar critique to that of Perl and PHP, except math is even worse.<p>Show me a Python-like notation for a math construct and I'm good to go. Even a Lisp!
