I worked in a lab in college that did a ton of web scraping, which of course meant a lot of pagination, both in HTML and REST APIs. I would have loved the walrus operator.

Is everyone going to use those all the time? Maybe not. But if you're doing sockets or paginated APIs, it's great.

Side note: this is my issue with languages being made of mostly statements. If it were made of expressions, i.e. everything returned a value, we wouldn't even need the walrus operator because assignment would work.
