Just my perspective, but mathematics seems like badly-written software to me. Shitty single-letter variable names with all the code in main() without any separation of concerns.

try reading some proofs in coq to see how badly software does in making mathematics readable.

nevertheless, i agree for things like white papers the overloading of identifiers is frustrating.
