No. In Mathematica important operations like mapping functions over sets (arrays/tensors) at various depths have simple operators such as (/@, @, @@, @@@). You can do functional composition using @*, etc. You don't need to define your variables and functions before being able to write them in expressions. Often you want to have intermediate terms that have some temporary name, and which get substituted later on. The replacement rules in Mathematica are very powerful for this.As another example, I googled some project Euler solutions in Mathematica and (pure Python) and found this: https://www.nayuki.io/page/project-euler-solutions. Compared to the pure Python solutions, the Mathematica code is typically much smaller. Of course this is not Sympy, but a lot of the Python syntax carries over to SymPy as well.
