> Whatever reading comprehension advantage they may carry is completely negated by the fact that they can't be typed from a regular keyboard.
I also am not really a fan in many cases, but in the case of Bayesian models it makes so much more sense to write "σ" than "sigma". In the case of these complex models, being able to stay closer to the math reduces complexity for the reader. Also, you don't have to use Unicode in your own Julia codebase. It's more of an extra feature which you can use if you want.
