Thanks for the explanation. I don't agree with your point that postfix is easier; maybe it's because most people are not used to thinking in postfix. It can be faster and easier for computers, but we build software for people, and it increases cognitive load on the users.

It might be fewer keystrokes, but I feel for most people, the difference in keystrokes doesn't justify the cognitive load it adds.

A lot of people at Reddit told me that it resembles SmallTalk, Factor, and Forth. Being someone who started coding in last decade I have only heard the names but never saw the syntax, but true it looks surprisingly similar. I can't really fathom that people actually built stuff in those language (probably better things that we build today)
