Answer 2

It's often called diamond operator, especially in the Java world. You can also find it in perl.

You can also find it in other languages such as SQL, VBA or VisualBasic, but it has no special name there (it's just called not equal there). I suppose in Elixir it's just the join operator .

Answer 3

I dont think there is a specific name. I went through Programming Elixir book which didnt say it has a specific name as such. Its one of the join operators in elixir. Its concatenates two binaries.
