Neither. Mathematical notation and programming languages serve two different purposes, and I think they both work pretty well for what they're designed to do. Math papers are about communicating with other humans, so they use the shortest language that is effective for the particular problem they're studying. Notation is not meant to be universally unambiguous, because that leads to a much larger language.
