On a vaguely-related note, for some years I've been using the phrase
"algebraic syntax" to characterize languages such as Algol, C/C++,
Fortran, Java(Script), Ruby, etc.  Contrary examples might include
Assembler, COBOL, Forth, Lisp, RPG, etc.

However, I can't find this usage in Wikipedia or elsewhere in the
Intertubes.  Am I simply confused?  Is there a better term to use?
Inquiring gnomes need to mine...
