hi, would you mind linking to the book?

https://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/23.htm is the closest i've found, but wondering if i'm missing something perhaps, Julia?

For something like APL modulo the Unicode symbols:

I mean, unfortunately being completely explicit and pedantic does not scale.

Imagine that instead of being able to use high-level programming languages, you had to write in assembly everywhere, all the time.

That's what software engineers and computer scientists' suggestions of redoing mathematical notation fee like to mathematicians.

These efforts also don't go anywhere because research mathematics moves beyond elementary arithmetic very quickly, and once you're there, "descriptive" notation becomes as incomprehensible as whatever mathematicians use.
