Mathematical operations when named by mathematicians : a x b → 'multiplication' a : b → 'division' a + b → 'addition' and by physicists ... <a|O|b > → 'sandwich'

For real why does that language look like gibberish? Assembly is easier to look at.

Haskell is actually fine. You have to learn a few operators but you don’t have to write operator-heavy code.

Just use C++ already then you won't need cute names.

C++ has a starship operator too actually but it looks a bit different

Honestly, "bleeding fish" sounds like a function you write at 3am and regret at code review.

We really need to stop naming things after the people who discovered them. If you call something "The Riemann Zeta Function", it just looks big and scary and complicated. This is why so many people avoid mathematics. Call things what they are, or name the feeling it gives you.

Tcl has {*} which is officially called "expand" and unofficially nicknamed "goatse".
