I know David Wheeler didn't like that on the ground that some fonts elevate ~ rather than aligning it in the middle as most monospaced fonts do, but I'm tempted just to say "then use a different font." Other possibilities that come to mind are +> and +>>, although I think they're less attractive. But I'll be guided by the consensus, assuming there is one ;-)
On the contrary, I quite like ~>. I've used it in pair.

I can live with +> and +>>.
