scope.i personally think that this usage will be very strange nad
untraditional. for me, it is better to use ‘=’ for constant
assignment and ‘:=’ for variable assignment, as done in
algol-68 and in some modern FP languages–

fwiw, personally, I prefer “=” for all assignments. In case of ambiguity,
the “:=” will come in.
Of course, this is opposite fr Pascal, that is why I haven’t touch that
language anymore… (and has since move to C, and now, hopefully, Ruby
:-)…
I do not want to be jailed by a language or a rather uncomfortable syntax.
Programmer must be king… and Ruby is providing that…
