I think this omit a very important property of mathematic equations thought, maths is a very strongly typed language which can be a significant improvement for readability.
Python is very strongly typed too, so I don't really see how maths is different.
For example, a mathematician working within the space of linear maps over a vector space will easily recognize the meaning of every symbol in: f(a * x + y) = a * f(x) + f(y)
Yes, but he has to remember what types are associated with the variables -- nothing at their point of use indicates that. Likewise, the reader of a Python program has to remember what type of object each name is expected to be bound to. If he can remember that, he will know what all the operators do. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
