I don't consider this an evolution of programming languages. 
FORTRAN 66 was the first language to have an ANSI standard, and 
it included these operators, so it's more a recognition that the 
old guys did it right. COBOL also had them back at least to COBOL 
68, (its first standard). Later languages like Lua and Perl have 
them too.

I'd say at best it's a minor improvement, but it wouldn't have 
many downsides either.
