Every programming language overloads the same few ASCII non-alpha-numeric characters to have multiple meanings. A colon : can mean multiple things in most computer languages, or it gets combined. Even a symbol like less-than < gets extremely different meanings depending upon context: comparison, template, XML, << operator (bonus if overloaded), <- operator (ugggh mixed with minus for bonus confusion) etcetera. I think saying programming languages are better than Mathematics is just due to your familiarity. |
