From a design perspective, it's better to follow the said BODMAS rule because people are more used to it. Another reason is that it's the foundation of mathematics.

𝐊𝐢𝐢𝐛𝐨 𝐆𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥 OP = Original Poster or something along those lines. What I was saying is that the reason most programming languages follow the said BODMAS rule is because people are more used to it, the precedence and associativity of the operations. Another reason is that BODMAS is one of the foundation of mathematics.
