What's the name of the <> operator?
Sheer curiosity.
I’ve asked this question on StackOverflow and I got some answers assuming that this operator is the same one that is used in Java, thus it is probably called the same.
I know. Who cares?
I do.
Is there a proper way to mention the <> (binary concat) operator specific to Elixir? Should I call it the “diamond” operator?

elixir-lang.org: Binaries (and bitstrings)
The string concatenation operation is actually a binary concatenation operator
elixir-lang.org: Binaries, strings and char lists:
Similar results can be achieved with the string concatenation operator <>
Elixir In Action p.46
Because strings are binaries, you can concatenate them with the <> operator

What’s wrong with “binary concatenation” operator? It makes it explicit and leaves no room for confusion.
