Simple answer: The `=` operator should just do that instead, just like in Java (and presumably most other languages). No need for more operators. People always complaining about someone new being "confused" are just ridiculous. This should NEVER be an argument. If you are confused by a consistent language, you are either not adaptive enough as a learner or your teacher sucks. Period. Never had this problem and no one I know that codes has these problems. It's those "I want to write useful programs after a week of learning" kind of people that just jump into the scene like a wrecking ball and want to trash anyone that tells them they need to learn more instead of complaining. Just like these new Linux users that keep complaining everything is too complicated. <br><br>I have never, ever, ever seen, that switching up the `=` operator with the `==` operator caused a serious bug. If it did, either the compiler of the programming language is shit or your IDE. Those errors immediately show during testing.
