Github user viirya commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/19813 Which one is more common? A chain of arithmetic expressions? Or a deeply nested expression? I don't see strong evidence that supports statement output from the discussion. The only one possibility for now is to reducing code size. This is also for performance, not stability. On the contrary, isn't using local variable more stable? Don't forget we need to introduce other mechanism to fix the problem of statement output like re-evaluation I pointed out above. I'm not saying it is not good to support statement output. But for now, the reason to support it is very vague.
