It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.

Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
What languages use this? I don't like it!
On the other hand it goes well with >= and <=. If >= means "either > or =" then <> means "either < or >", it checks out.
But I still don't like it.
BASIC. At least VB.
I think Excel formulas also use this, but it's been a long time so I might be misremembering.
Can confirm also BASICA, GWBASIC, QBASIC, and QuickBASIC
SQL uses it but yeah, not programming language :p.
I was on mobile so I didn't have a
.XCompose
available to type≠
.If you want to be able to write practically anything on mobile, including ≠, ≈, ‰, ℝ etc., have a look at Unexpected keyboard. No spellcheck or autocomplete, though.
I feel the opposite. On mobile I have much easier access to special characters. I just need to hold down characters to get more variants.
Yup, ≠ is right “under” =. As is ≈.
SQL is definitely a programming language. Most dialects are Turing-complete in some way. Some allow custom functions and stored procedures.
SQL
Depends on the dialect. I mostly use Presto and MySQL at work, and both allow
!=
.Presto also lets you use
NOT
for booleans - instead ofWHERE foo = false
, you can doWHERE NOT foo
.Damn I never understood it but now it makes sense thanks to you
Yea it’s ugly 😭

F# definitely and maybe Haskell and OCaml as well? Elixir and Erlang use it as a binary concatenation operator.
Yes for OCaml. Haskell's inequality is defined as
/=
(for ≠).<>
is usually the Monoidmappend
operator (i.e. generalized binary concatenation).
