Then you just need a programming language that accepts ≠ as a synonym of !=. But who knows, maybe there is already one?
replyRakulang has you covered.
replyIt is aggressive in its unicode support. You want to use vulgar fractions? Or Mayan numerals? They'll work. You want to use mathematical notation like ∈? It works.
You can literally do this:
`my $var = ⅒ + 2 + Ⅻ;`
Julia example: https://juliamono.netlify.app/#fnref:zscode
replyI can't include an example here because VC News strips out math.
Mostly it strips out ‘math variable names that jerks would use to embolden their spam headlines for emphasis’, which is indeed annoying and results in this:
reply∂ₓₙ = [(₁ ⊗ ʹ) (₂ ⊗ ʹ) ( ⊗ ₁) ( ⊗ ₂)]
And last I checked, BPL is in the same boat.
Or just pipe your source through a sed script that replaces one with the other before compiling/running.
replyYes, but why?

replyI wish more languages other than Raku did this. But no, not equal is written as surprised equal. And if something ought to be less or equal, you have to write a fat arrow pointing left. :/
replyNot true: you can use the unicode equivalent as well:
replysay 42 ≤ 666; # True
say 42 ≠ 666; # True
say 42 ≥ 666; # False
For a full list, see https://docs.raku.org/language/unicode_ascii#Other_acceptabl...

replyBut languages are made by older or less progressive people, so of course you can't use ≠ Unicode in your language enforcing ascii
