literally what software engineers were doing for decades though

software is mostly just simple math, for the most part, until you need to do something more complex for some hairy algos lol

Actually, if you were to convert most software into mathematical notation it would look incomprehensible. We are not interested in gatekeeping as much by making things look more convoluted than they need to.
