In mathup[1] I actually use whitespace around infix operators to group expressions. E.g. `1 + 2/3 + 4` is not the same as `1+2 / 3+4`. I find this leads to a much cleaner expressions.

When you are designing your own language, you can make these choices. The author of Pyret obviously thought that clearly named identifiers were worth it.
