My personal opinion, as a mathematician, is that this way of writing might be well-founded in terms of expressivity or logic, it remains fully opaque to most mathematicians except logicians.

The concept of binding is understandable, and even that of mapping, but having to enter everything within lambda terms tends to be a real readability problem.
