Was the walrus the only reason people fought that PEP? Really? It does not remove functionality. The best argument for what the community think if it should or shouldn't be used is letting us use it and then see if we adopt it or not. And if we don't use it, deprecated it. Advancements comes with steps forward, not with recalcitrance.<br><br>The walrus is hard for beginners at a certain level. I am a beginner, for example, and I have a sense that if someone is at a level to understand list comprehensions, they can understand the walrus as well. And I am really a beginner, I don't understand concepts like decorators for example. Would it be an argument against decorators that beginners are confused about it? I don't think so.<br><br>I am a little bit annoyed that it got to this point because of this operator. Especially since it doesn't break legacy code.
