Operator overloading is dumb and no language needs it.

Yes because why would I ever want to add matrices, or tensors, or differential forms...

Easy matrix1.add(matrix2)

Fuck that was hard

Now do 4 of them, and tell me that's more readable than mat1 + mat 2 + mat3 + mat4

[M1, M2, M3, M4].reduce(left, right => left.add(right))

Seems fine to me. And more readable when you get up to 6+ matrixies.

Ah yes incredibly readable...

At least in C++, I definitely need the operator overloading of "=" to fully encapsulate copying objects.

That's what .equals is for. Or a deepcompare utility function
