>It is sometimes better to leave at least some parentheses in place, even when Haskell allows us to omit them. Complex expressions that rely completely on operator precedence are notorious sources of bugs. A compiler and a human can easily end up with different notions of what even a short, parenthesis-free expression is supposed to do. There is no need to remember all of the precedence and associativity rules numbers: it is simpler to add parentheses if you are unsure.

Mathematicians like to reassure themselves that foundational questions are resolved by some mumbo-jumbo about "Axioms" but in reality successful mathematics requires familiarity with a large collection of "elementary" concepts and underlying linguistic and notational conventions. These are often unwritten, but are part of the training of young people in the subject. For example, an entire essay could be written on the use, implicit and explicit, of ordering and brackets in mathematical statements and equations. -- Norman J Wildberger, Associate Professor in Mathematics.

Replace notation by something less ambiguous like S-Expressions? It's still axiomatizable. It's even a better choice at that as you'll be able to machine prove your statements, which is not always possible with more ambiguous notation.

The best part about SEXPs is that you can just copy and paste them.
