I don't see anything inherently wrong with adding some nice sugar to ES, because the people who will be using this "math heavy" notation will be those who are used to it. The "everyday" ecmascript programmer probably won't touch these because they might add extra work for them. Plus, it'd be nice to be able to read math in ES (for us math oriented folk).
