And make symbols mean different things in different situations, and sometimes reuse symbols for the same thing, and sometimes make sin(x+3) mean the variables s * i * n * (x+3) and sometimes mean taking the sine of x+3. Mathematical language is worse specified than markdown and has a huge amount of ambiguity and requirement that you understand the context that you're working in. It works fairly well for mathematicians, in terms of being concise to express complex ideas on a blackboard, but overall it's a mess.
