Chris, Will we able to use late-bound arguments in dataclass when it’s creating the __init__ function? @dataclass class C: x: int y: int ls: list[int] => [x, y]

I have more than once advocated x:=default (and there is no clash with the walrus operator, even if others have said/implied that there is).
not a clash, but you could have a walrus in the default expression, which could be pretty visually confusing. On the other hand, maybe that's a really bad idea anyway. And otherwise I like it.
BTW, there is one other small wrinkle with the := spelling, which is that it's very similar to annotation syntax:
def spam(a:int=1): ... def ham(a:=1): ...
Again, not a fundamental problem to the parser, since an empty expression isn't a valid annotation, but could be confusing.
I don't think we're going to get away from that confusion. There are just too many things we want to do with the equals sign, and only so many keys on most people's keyboards.
