I assume this refers to operator overloading.
I think `a + b - c` looks way more readable than `a.add(b).sub(c)` and I'm happy when a language lets me define my own operators for vectors/matrices but I also have a side-curiosity: do they ever have a good use case outside of a math context? I never heard anyone praise `<<` `>>` in C++ for ex.
