Perl6
Since I have nothing better to do anyway, I started reading Perl 6 Essentials. I got to page 33. At the bottom it states (and I quote, if I may):
String Operators
The ~ operator concatenates strings. The corresponding ~= operator concatenates the right-hand side of the assignment to the end of the string:
$line = "The quick brown " ~ $fox ~ jumps_over() ~ " the lazy " ~ $dog;
$line ~= "Belgium"; # adds to the string
End quote..
Last I heard, the concatenating operator was actually the _ in perl 6. Damian explained it as "the dot... in hyperspace"... This, ofcourse, was over a year ago (barely), in Munich. I'm also quite curious on where the "Belgium" came from.
Note to myself: Remember sunday evening...

(Con)Catenation Operator (Score:3, Insightful)
The syntax in P6E has changed very little since publication, so it's all up to date (though there's a proposal for a change to an operator). My theory is that the underbar for concatenation was too ugly, though I don't remember when it changed. Now the Parrot stuff, that's a bit different....
As all Douglas Adams readers realize, Allison's a bit of a fan, hence Belgium and 42 and whales and petunias.
