AIUI none - one's just syntactic sugar for the other (whichever way you look at it).

In this case isnt must be :)

What about future? Does === will become deprecated?

Yes, use "is" from now on. The === turned out to be a problem distinguishing from == with some fonts.

Gah! It makes me cringe without an apostrophe, though :(.

I must have had a good English teacher in high school, because such things pain me. (As well as its-it's their-there-they're to-too and a lot (the only proper way is a lot, two separate words, not one)...but I guess I'm a bit obsessive compulsive, too...)

I guess you're not in favor of an "aint" keyword then ? :-)

Or maybe it should use "p is not null", just like in SQL...

Oh, well: !(p is null)

Well, it's a made up word so you can spell it however you want :P

I like the previously mentioned "p !is null". Would also work with "in", "key !in aa".

We should start using a word for >= and <=, too.

There are perfect words for them in non-computer literature, and in the spoken language as well. They are "at least" and "at most", respectively.

Reading "greater than or equal to" instead of "at least" is like reading "!==" as "Bang equal equal".

As a matter of fact, "at least" and "at most" have direct translations to most human languages in the world. This only shows how intuitive and commonly needed the concept itself is.
