In a prefix language, I first learn what I'm going to be doing, then I learn what values I will be doing it to. This has the advantage that I understand the context in which things are going to be used. It helps in working from the top down. In a postfix language, I first learn about how the values are constructed, then afterward I learn what I am going to do with them. This has the advantage that I am reading through things in the same order in which they happen. It helps me to think from bottom up.
