Nobody uses those. The fact is that there's a long tradition in dynamic languages that 1/2 does not produce 0. Of the dynamic languages in the Tiobe top 20 <http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index?page=index>, only Ruby does and most of the rest don't have particularly short notations for integer division. Integer division already has a three-letter function name *and* a one character operator in Julia. As I said, that's plenty. I'm very over discussing this (I'm not sure why I'm even writing this), but I swear this is the last I'll post on the subject.
