Pascal has / for real division, but div for (truncated) integer division.

I like the Pascal way of using named operators like `div` (and `mod`, `xor`, `shr`, `shl`, `sar` etc.). Much easier to remember, read and type. Why does everything have to be cryptic symbols? This also frees up those symbols for use in more

How many commercial projects use COBOL 2014 though? I know Fortran 77 is still considered newfangled in some circles, even though Fortran 90, 95, 2003, 2008, 2015 exist. Same with C90, C++98, etc.

The rationale given for including mirrored half-stars as separate codepoints is right-to-left languages. I wondered why this was needed, since Unicode already has the a right-to-left mark (RLM)[1]. I found the answer in a comment on "E
