"... am I supposed to type (or copy paste) that symbol every time I want to xor two numbers? There must be a better way right?"
"Sorry, no."
I immediately gave up the language after this. Too bad, I really loved it and was looking forward to progress in DL stack in Julia at that time. Too math-y.
You can always just use `xor(a,b)`. Julia makes sure that there aren't any unicode operators that don't have an ascii equivalent (in Base at least). Also, most editors will allow you to type ⊻ as `\xor` and tab complete to ⊻.
Julia has built in support for special characters like that by typing \charname<tab>. You have to remember the name but it's not all that hard to type.
"a ⊻ b"
