A mathematician pontificating so that they don't have to learn a different notation and map things themselves. Yawn.

Why would any programmer even want language designers to try to consider this viewpoint? Do they get to analyze the specific typical variety of introduced constructs? What does it give in return for this huge amount of time to wade through specific mathematical motifs utilized? (Except for compiler recompiler authors and of obfuscation tools, maybe.)
