Infix vs Prefix Notation – Which do you prefer

notationprogramming-languages

I have been learning Clojure and looking at Scheme and CL which introduced me to the world of prefix notation. At first I didn't like it but it is still starting to grow on me. To be honest though, there are still long calculations that are difficult for me to understand but I think that is an issue of me needing more exposure/practice and I'll get it.

But that leads me to the question: Which type of notation do you prefer and why?

Best Answer

I find infix notation easier to read, simply because I've been working with it ever since kindergarten.
