So I checked for all the languages listed: C, C#, Java, 
Javascript, C++, PHP, Perl and D. All have the same order of 
precedence except, as always the abomination of all languages: 
C++ (kill it with fire).
C++ is the only language that has the ternary operator have the 
same precedence than the assignment operators.
This means a>=5?b=100:b=200; will compile in C++ but not in all 
the other languages. That's one reason why it irritates me when 
people continuously refer to C and C++ as if it was the same 
thing (yes I mean you Walter and Andrei).
Even PHP and Perl got it right, isn't that testament of poor 
taste Bjarne?. :-)
