I like = for assignment, but I don't like it for configuration. HCL and TOML chose it, to their detriment, I think. When it reads as "let x equal y" it makes sense. I think it makes good sense for imperative programming. It makes slightly less sense for functional programming. For declarative configuration, I think a colon makes much more sense.
