On: Understanding Mathematical Notation as Code

[Retra]

That seems like a rather selfish and narrow thing to say.

I've always thought (ever since university) that code should take inspiration from math notation.

Instead of writing:

    for (int i = 0; i < limit; i++) { acc += 1; }

just write:

    acc = ∑_(int i=0)^(limit);

I think maybe one should do some more math before telling a world of mathematicians what to do. Besides, it's far easier to create computer languages than the change math notation the world over.
