Coming from Haskell, I realize some of the background of using this

`x: Foo := foo();` instead of `let x: Foo = foo();`. All these `let`s in
the code seem noisy. I suppose this was an explicit design decision - I
wonder if anyone can say something about why one form was used over the
other?
`let` tells the parser that there's a pattern coming up.
Languages that do 'x := whatever' can never have destructuring without
some sort of cover grammar hack.
