Bro used <> instead of !=

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.

SQL uses it but yeah, not programming language :p.

I was on mobile so I didn't have a .XCompose available to type ≠.

I was on mobile so I didn't have a .XCompose available to type.

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.
