Heh, you don't even try to justify it, just point out prior art in some irrelevant "languages". Yeah, definitely not easy to defend such choices. Even the fact that this turns off potential Lua programmers such as myself makes it do more harm than any potential good (and I am hard pressed to find a single good thing about these asinine choices).
- andrewmcwatters 8y agoIn mathematics, there are multiple symbols for negation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols What is there to defend? Can you explain why it's "asinine design?" You don't actually elaborate as to why, and I've provided you both academic background in mathematics and prior art. I apologize if I've missed your point.

- andrewmcwatters 8y agoYou're right: This discussion always comes up with developers who constantly have petty complaints.
- Pimpus 8y agoI would venture to say that you're just out of touch.
