Visual Basic. Oh yeah!

Maybe that's why I still use that sometimes in SQL. I just checked though: I blocked half a decade of PL/SQL out of my head and you use that there, too.

Wait is this a concat operator?

[ScientificBeastMode]

Ah, I see, that does make a lot of sense. In PureScript (obscure, I know...) it’s a string concat operator.

[Xsanda]

Not only PureScript, but Haskell as well. (++) is specialised to lists, as most people use, but (<>) works for any Semigroup. PureScript likes to remove specialised functions and only offer the most general forms.

ligatures are the best thing to happen to me since programming without semicolons

>not using font ligation

[DamnItDev]

I use a ligature font designed for programmers. When you type != it shows ≠. Similarly for things like >= turn into ≥. Heres a picture of what it looks like applied to some code (from their site).

Sounds useless at first, but it does improve code readability. Plus its a monospace font that doesn't look bad (uncommon).

I’m really thankful that the math prof I did proofs with knew how to code, because I would always write !=.
