pre-fix is the finest notation for many reasons. So, Intel syntax makes more sense than ATT syntax.

Even C functions are pre-fix. [function_name arg1, arg2 ...] If schools were teaching pre-fix, we would be in better position to appreciate Intel syntax.

Higher maths uses pre-fix, for example: y=f(x) unfortenately, above line is not pure prefix... = y f(x) would be pure pre-fix.
