Why would anyone want to type:
def variable = value
when they could just type:
variable = value
instead? Perhaps if I was being paid by the character typed...
def my__really__good__variable = ( value ) # Assign value to
my__really__good__variable.
*wink*
But all joking aside, what benefit would this "def" statement have? Why
would I want to use it?

It means *define function*, not just "define anything". We don't use def
to define classes, or modules, or lists, or other objects.
