And sort of the opposite of that, I once had someone say they wanted to contribute to the C++ portion of our codebase, but the only problem was they didn't know how to make the "->" character, and did they need to get a special keyboard?
- icambron 4y agoIs it possible that their editor provided ligatures but they didn't know about those and so assumed it was actually a character in the source?
- furyofantares 4y agoNo, it was much too long ago for that. They were just very new to programming and had interpreted it wrong the first time they saw it (most likely in a book, that's how we used to get our first introduction to a language).
- Izkata 4y agoSemi-related: One of the people on my team uses a font that displays things like ">=" as "≥". I was a bit confused the first time I saw it.
