> Parentheses may be used to specify the order, but there's a (usually) better way as well: whitespace! Fewer spaces means the function will be executed earlier.

Oh man, that is a fascinating idea I've played around with some, glad someone's put it more seriously into practice.

Re: assignments, Aaron sure seems to sprinkle them liberally inside lines - though not generally ones referenced in subsequent ones, to be fair. (I suppose another notable attribute of the co-dfns codebase is extensive use of ⊣ as a leftwards statement separator)

Mathematical functions are prefix, which imo is much harder to follow than either infix (OO/APL) or suffix (RPN/Forth), though this may be more of an english-speaking intuition than some manner of universal truth. I do at least observe a trend towards "imperative but functionally pure / side-effect isolated" in recent language design.
