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.
Can confirm also BASICA, GWBASIC, QBASIC, and QuickBASIC
SQL uses it but yeah, not programming language :p.
I was on mobile so I didn't have a .XCompose available to type ≠.
If you want to be able to write practically anything on mobile, including ≠, ≈, ‰, ℝ etc., have a look at Unexpected keyboard. No spellcheck or autocomplete, though.

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.
SQL
Depends on the dialect. I mostly use Presto and MySQL at work, and both allow !=.
Presto also lets you use NOT for booleans - instead of WHERE foo = false, you can do WHERE NOT foo.
Damn I never understood it but now it makes sense thanks to you
Yea it’s ugly 😭
F# definitely and maybe Haskell and OCaml as well? Elixir and Erlang use it as a binary concatenation operator.
Yes for OCaml. Haskell's inequality is defined as /= (for ≠). <> is usually the Monoid mappend operator (i.e. generalized binary concatenation).
Bro used <> instead of !=
What languages use this? I don't like it!
