<> as operator for inequality

Hello all,

We all know for sure that != is the Alteryx operator for inequality. However, I suggest the implementation of <> as an other operator for inequality. Why ?

<> is a very common operator in most languages/tools such as SQL, Qlik or Tableau. It's by far more intuitive than != and it will help interoperability and copy/paste of expression between tools or from/to in-database mode to/from in-memory mode.

Best regards,

Simon

100% agree, != isnt intuitive at all and I havent used it with any other tool. Making the operators as similar to other widely used tools as possible makes the tool less intimidating to learn.
