Given that new languages with such syntax continue to be developed and that many express that they favor it, it is at best a personal taste, and at worst simply inertia. “conventional mathematical notation” was never designed; much like the imperial system, it organically grew and I find it somewhat arbitrary what operations receive an infix operation and what do not and it even depends on the language in some cases. That being said, I really do not favor `string-append` where `strapp` suffice. I especially do not favor `call-with-current-continuation` over `call/cc`.
