> what really kills me is when programmers use untypeable symbols Maybe the problem is that "untypeable" symbols should be easier to type.

Maybe the problem is that programmers are constrained by ASCII, and mathematicians have the upper hand because they have the freedom to define their own notation. Maybe the "problem" is a matter of perspective.
