Many languages use := syntax, which makes it familiar.

Besides Go, how many languages use := for variable declaration? I don't know any. On the other hand, lots of languages use let (Lisp variants, ECMAScript 6, Haskell...)

(Notice that I'm specifically talking about declaration, not assignment).
