Personally I liked the proposal > and I think the "pipe" sign fit well into an pipe operator:) I'm surprised someone noticed Japanese "~" char issue. We have "~" char issue, but it would not be problem for programmers. I guess you mentioned this issue. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B3%A2%E3%83%80%E3%83%83%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A5 http://qiita.com/kasei-san/items/3ce2249f0a1c1af1cbd2 They are written in Japanese.
