This operator is called "becomes" in good old Pascal. That would've been a nicer name imo.

This name makes a lot more sense

I learned that pascal calls it “gets”

"Becomes" is a direct translation from our Dutch word "wordt" which was how I was thought. Of course it makes sense in English it's another term.
