The discussion seems to have been constructive, too. I would just like to approve the following points: > Part of the problem is that there is no real way to measure the > effectiveness of new language features. Indeed. But, for a syntax addition such as PEP 572, I think it would be a good idea to ask their opinion to teaching/education specialists. As far as I'm concerned, if teachers and/or education specialists were to say PEP 572 is not a problem, my position would shift from negative towards neutral. > Van Rossum wondered if the opposition only got heated up after > he got involved; people may not have taken it seriously earlier because > they thought he would not go for it. That's very true. For me, at the start, the assignment operator proposal was one of those many python-ideas threads about new syntax that never get any wide approval, so I didn't bother about it.
