As a developer with a weaker background in mathematics, I face a language barrier with many modern algorithms. After lots of research I can understand and explain them in code, but I have no idea what your artistic-looking MathXML means.

Visualizations or algorithms described using code are much, much easier for me to understand and serve as a great starting point for unpacking the math explanations.

I understand where you're coming from and you raise a valid point, but the ML/AI is heavily academic and oriented around research. The target audience is people with a very strong math background and the necessary context.

I would recommend picking up a book on Comp Sci or algorithms, even just a cursory reading helps a lot. CS is very much not just programming and it is heavily restricted by descriptions through code.
