This is silly. All programming is already in the same order for anything not math. And even math has plenty of prefix usage. Sigma, gamma, etc.

So, I should use another term than propaganda, as that is negatively loaded. Consider it, rather, effective marketing.

Edit: and apologies on dodging the point on python being simple. I really don't know how to respond on that. I still fight heavily to read most python I am exposed to, as it would be way easier in sql for most of the etl I see.

Many (most?) programmers don't like (formal) math.
