Sure. I have neither problems with prefix notation as in Lisp or postfix
notation as in Factor. It is the infix languages (which boast as an
advantage to be closer the usual mathematical notation) where I think it
is crucial to stay close to the mathematical notation, otherwise the
purported advantage vanishes immediately.
