Congrats, Sean.  You can rattle off a list of moderately-obscure to
very-obscure programming languages.  And it's a mighty fine strawman.

Are you seriously expecting us to believe people who might be coding in
those languages either never did maths at school, or have never used other
languages which use the standard operators?

Per head of people coding in the world today... which is going to be more
familiar to people: <= or "LTE"?

How many people who cut their teeth on Algol 60, ADL, ABAP, BLISS (etc) are
going to be diving into the CF arena any time soon?

I think your argument kinda works more in my favour than yours, to be
honest.
