The weird thing is that some people feel that they need to find all kinds of justifications for why not having an infix syntax is OK.
Arithmetic in Lisp-style is excellent and easy to read. Thing is that programming languages infix math is ridiculously bad compared to what I can do with paper and pencil. It's really just a really bad form of imitation and to me that irks me way more than just doing it in Lisp. Math written in PL:s is hard to read in general and I'd love to see an Emacs package that lets you show an inline picture as you mark a mathematical expression of LaTeX rendering it as 'regular' math.
