PEP 572: Python assignment expressions has been accepted
If they add anything to Python, it should be the ability to do functional-style programming without hassle. Right now it&#x27;s almost impossible to compose functions in an inline style such as used in functional programming languages. Yes, there&#x27;s lambda, but it doesn&#x27;t extend into multiple lines, and applying a function to a bunch of lambdas directly leads to line-width overflow. Even JavaScript has better support for functional-style programming. Perhaps Guido should spend a year writing Haskell :)
