If you really felt this way, you'd expect the C != operator
a != b
to be the same as:
a = !b
I don't because "!=" is frequently used and usually in a
context where expectations points towards comparison and not
assignment.
But I would prefer "=", "≠","<" and "≤" for comparison and
constants... then have something else for variable assignment.
I understand your attempt to auction your old APL keyboard
didn't go well?
Compose keys have existed for a long time.
The aversion to unicode is ridiculous.
That's because everything in IT is Anglo-centric (mainly US). To
this day we suffer from the fact that nobody in the English
speaking world bothered to cater for "special characters"[1],
when computers and programming languages emerged as ever more
important.
[1] the term "special character" tells a lot about the attitude.
For French or Portuguese speakers "ç" is not a "special
character" nor is "ñ" for Spanish speakers (not to mention other
writing systems!).
