Some others: Lua, Javascript, Ruby, O'Caml.

In fact, the only language I can find that uses infix notation (i.e. no
Lisp) where it's *not* true that "a < b < c" is equivalent to "(a < b) <
c" is Haskell -- and that's because < is not associative and "a < b < c"
is a syntax error. (FWIW this is my favorite approach.) You may also
want to put Java in there as well, as < is effectively not commutative
in that language. (I didn't try C#.)

I've been programming in Python for a few years and this is the first
time I've seen this. If I had seen that in a program, I'd have assumed
it was a bug.
