My point is that it doesn't make it easy to read for everyone and it was a bad design decision.

  It just permits a larger set of glyphs (Unicode) for identifiers and operators than some other languages, which only permit ASCII. It makes it easier to read the code for everyone and it is a great design decision.

    It's not "just" permitting more characters, it overlays one set of syntax (Julia) with another (mathematical notation). And mathematical notation has no unified standard. > It makes it easier to read the code for everyone It doesn't make it easier for some people including myself so I can certainly say it doesn't make it easier for everyone.

      I don’t understand what you mean. Allowing a larger set of glyphs does not change the syntax.

  No, on the contrary, it was a great design decision.
