Agreed with Tony. Having lots of ways to do the same thing is fine, as long as we had no other syntactical use for the `=`. Anyone want to support notation like: `for y = sin(_) in 1:10 ... end`? Probably not, so no big deal to keep both around.
Also I just saw Tk's post with this great example of `=` better than `in`: `a = [ f(i,j,k) for i=1:p, j=1:q, k=1:r ]` On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 9:10 AM, Tony Kelman <t...@kelman.net> wrote: > How is having multiple syntaxes for something automatically bad?
