Add ligatures for logical and && and or ||

[theking2]

Boolean operators && to U+2227 thus ∧ || to U+2228 thus ∨ ^^ to U+22BB thus ⊻ or U+2295 thus ⊕

a rational reason for this would be to distinguish between boolean and bitwise operators (& vs &&, | vs ||) which would greatly help the careless programmer

I think I tried this (or at least it was discussed) and in general people agreed it was a bad idea. But now that we have stylistic sets, I can make it optional.

What’s ^^? Never seen it. Which languages is it used in?

[theking2]

Thanks. You are absolute right on the xor - boolean operator, there are bitwise xor (^) operators in many languages but a boolean xor would be a !=

sorry about that

IIRC Scala's Boolean type supports &&, || and ^^ as aliases for &, | and ^

Awesome would be a U+00AC (¬) for a ! but as it is not a ligature it won't work.

In addition, but...who hopes "Congratulations!" turns into "Congratulations¬"?

[theking2]

Many languages use the double & & or || for boolean operators. C, C++, C#, PHP, if I'm not mistaken Java, Javascript

[theking2]

This did get abandoned or ignored, didn't it?

[tonsky]

Might be in v7 as a stylistic set
