To add a little bit to the idea of notation and how, as one example, it enables the recognition of patterns, here's one of the most famous APL libraries.

They are called "idioms" precisely because these expressions can be like words once you internalize them (something that happens naturally to a professional user of the language). It's interesting to explore the library and maybe try a few of the idioms on something like NARS2000.
