A #ComputingHistory question that came up today: what is the origin of | (the vertical stroke) as bitwise OR in PL/I, and thence to the C family of languages?
I haven't been able to trace it further back, and interestingly in logic it was the "Sheffer Stroke", NAND (although Wikipedia claims that Sheffer actually used it for NOR instead?) There does not seem to be a logic or typesetting convention that birthed |.
I don't know enough about early IBM keyboards to know what other characters might be available.
The choice of & for AND instead of ^ -- it's right there! -- is similarly unclear.

I miss the optimism of the 1990s and early 2000s.
For a while there, it seemed as though humanity had finally figured its 💩 out and would be moving consistently forward from then on, and in a century or three our descendants would be building starships and exploring the galaxy.
All that hope is gone now.
