I'm learning python atm alongside buildig a small program (i do have programming experience though), and just yesterday I bumped into a situation where I could've used the walrus operator perfectly! I don't think I've seen anything like it before. Interestingly, even searching for a "pythonic" way of handling my problem, it wasn't mentioned anywhere ... where i was looking at least. No clue whats going on with the drama behind it, but I'm so glad i was recommended this video!
