I program in C and C++.  I find the "y = x" notation to be 
jarring.  I think the C semantics needlessly rubs contrary to 
general usage in math and logic.  I realize it is based on the 
notion of "formula" rather than "equation", however the "put" 
syntax clearly makes assignment an imperative and clearly 
emphasizes container semantics.

(I think the three current uses of = in Revolution are OK.)

Somebody else can have the soapbox now.
