Interesting. In JavaScript you can do the same with just the regular assign operator "=". I'm curious why Python wouldn't just do that too?,(reply>), Also, if you make it change and the default is now =, it breaks older code. And I think it is a good way to update the language without major destruction like it was when the transition to python 3 happened,(reply>), @Telecorpse! Ahh that makes sense! Doesn't seem too controversial to me then. Actually seems like a good idea.,(reply>), It doesn't throw an error when you mistakingly use = instead of ==
