The fact that := will be familiar to many people (especially if they know Go, Pascal or Eiffel etc) is a point in its favour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_%28computer_science%29#Notation The => arrow puts the arguments around the "wrong" way compared to regular assignment: name = expression expression => name Although personally I like that order, many people did not and I think Guido ruled it out very early in the discussion.
