As someone who breathes that style of notation, there is excellent support in vim and emacs for custom display for readability. Conceal syntax in vim¹(builtin for rust/help/$few_others and external such as vim-cute-python²), and pretty-mode³ in emacs. I'm sure similar things exist in other editors too, but I don't use those ;)

You don't get the exact representation in your example with the things I've mentioned, but if you're used to a more "mathy"-style they really are quite nice. YM[and taste]MV.
