> The concise syntax particularly shines in interactive cases. I think this is a good point. In an interactive environment: you can iteratively build the expression up, and you have the right chunks of context in working memory as you do it. You'd still need to learn what the different functions/operations are; but in a one-line REPL the use of symbols would allow you to fit more on a line than using more traditional identifiers. That avoids many of the things I'd be concerned about for writing code like this if I had to come back and read or modify it months later.
