The symbols `/=' and `#' are also used in some high-level languages. It
is unfortunate that the not-equal-to sign is neither on a standard
keyboard nor in the 7-bit ASCII table. As a general guideline, however,
I don't think language designers should redefine the meaning of well
known symbols from mathematics. Or why not let `+' be the
increment-by-one operator and `++' denote addition? Why not? After all,
as Jerry Stuckle mentioned, programming is not mathematics.
