I think that even simply tossing a coin between = and in and just picking one would improve on the current situation. Either Matlab or R users will have to learn a new syntax, but I doubt that this is the biggest hurdle they will encounter in Julia. This would resolve the uncertainty, stop "why = or in" questions (they come up frequently), and also stop further bikeshedding about this. Best, Tamas
