Food for thought... Python:
one = 1,2,3 two = 4,5,6 both = one,two first = both[0] print(one) # (1, 2, 3) print(first) # (1, 2, 3) Python's `=` operator is like Raku's `:=`. my @one := 1,2,3; my @two := 4,5,6; my @both := @one,@two; my @first := @both[0]; say @one.raku; # (1, 2, 3) say @first.raku; # (1, 2, 3) Precisely the same result. Assignment introduces mutability, is O(N) in both time and space, and adds Scalars. Do you really need that additional overhead for the sake of saving a character? Binding maintains status quo on (im)mutability of values, is O(1) in both time and space, and doesn't add Scalars. I think binding will become increasingly used idiomatically and it's a natural for your code, whether you use it for just the one line or for all of them. love, ralph
