"You often hear about how important it is to write 'readable code'. Developers have pretty strong opinions about what makes code more readable. The more senior the developer, the stronger the opinion. But, have you ever stopped to think about what really makes code readable?"

When I was young, I got excited about making new operators. Now, I see that as foolish, except where operators in math are already defined. Matrix and complex math is good with operators, but kids will foolishly use them where there is no precident (no pun intended.)
I think you would be better off just making built-in matrix and complex types... but there are many ways to define matrices--sparse etc.
cout <<1<<3<<"What?"<<endl;
I'm not fond of that. What if I want shift operators on numbers? It's too damn verbose. I have something less flexible, but more practical.
printf("Name:%s Age:%d\n",name,age);
You can use this: There is only one stream.
"Name:%s Age:%d\n",name,age;
