Ever try to freestyle your own symbols while writing code? It doesn't go so well. There is extremely little freedom in the characters that you can code with. Coding is also rife with abstraction and complexity. All of the problems and barriers to learning that you describe exist with coding and are arguably worse. Yet, like mathematics, computer science is budding and creative; you just need to drudge through some busy work before you get to the edges of current knowledge. Your remark about professors not knowing what they teach in some sense is mean-spirited. If you don't like how mathematics is written or taught then just write something else and use different language. All you really need to do is communicate your logical point. With computers, on the other hand, you can't just write your own language or run any type of software on your hardware.
