My point with math is not that this only applies to fundamentally math like things but that these languages do for programming what the math notation does for math problems for me. "if i am thinking about any problem, its outside the scope of any programming language in the first place" yes I felt this way too before I learned an array language. Sorry that was a rude way to put that but I do genuinely mean that. Array languages help me solve problems I wouldn't know how to solve otherwise. that python code looks suspiciously full of symbols and one character variable names :). Maybe it would be easier like this: all(exes modulo index not equal zero for index in range(two, ex)).
