I hate right to left. In my mind functions act from the right. They are even denoted with a little arrow pointing left to right. Thank god OOP methods, UFCS and streams/pipes and nearly everything goes from left to right, top to down. (AFAIK not long ago some algebraists tried to do algebra, linear algebra and category theory left to right, so f:A->B and g:B->C would compose to fg/fog/f.g.. :A->C. But probably they do it less nowadays, the attempt failed, and math remains right to left.)

Why is Uiua right to left?



Probably this way you can have sequential and anti-sequential parts without parentheses?
