I'm fine with it. SQL's not-equal-to operator is <> things like that really don't matter. It's like being upset about single quotes vs double quotes. If you think that's annoying, then you should absolutely learn Haskell, because you're focused on aesthetics instead of big picture implications, and Haskell will force you to learn better ways of thinking about the big picture.
Most of the problems that most of us have are simply difficult and frowned upon in Haskell.
I think maybe you misunderstood what one of us said. All we did was note that the "not equals" operator is different than the "normal" one in Haskell. Which is a good thing to know whether you're focused on aesthetics or not.
While I get what you're saying, the normal not-equal symbol is ≠. So calling it an idiosyncrasy sounds like c-style bias, as Haskell's version is closer to the mathematical symbol.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
not True -- comments come after two hyphens
instead of the bang operator (!==) it uses (/=) operator for not True in comparison.
Right! That's another idiosyncrasy of Haskell that I neglected to mention.
