There is no difference, as far as I know. '=' seems to be used more for explicit ranges (i = 1:5) and 'in' seems to be used more for variables (i in mylist). But using 'in' for everything is ok too.
The '=' is there for familiarity with matlab. Remember that julia's syntax was in part designed to be familiar to matlab users.
