Mathematics is also written tersely but not this tersely, and nor is terse math easy to read for mathematicians.
Terse logic is also very different from terse names; how much of K brevity is just from name compression vs logical succinctness? Haskell people could also use single character names everywhere. When will they adopt the conveniences of fitting everything in as few pages as possible?
And what’s the point of fitting as much content as you can into one eyeball when working memory can’t consume a whole page of a non-succinct language like Python?
