Some languages use '=' for assignment, others for equality, but do you know of a language that uses ':=' for equality' or '==' for assignment?
Clearly we should take a page from the ternary operator and make the assignment expression operator just ugly enough that people won’t overuse it. Since I can’t have ‘>>’ or ‘<>’ back, I propose ‘=======‘.
