I never liked the 'gets': "x gets 7" is fine but "x becomes the same as y" seems better than "x gets y"

  that's wrong, though. x becomes a copy of y, which is only transiently the same.

    What is "transiently the same"? Genuinely asking - my first thoughts are: "transiently the same" is not the same as "the same", hence it is not "the same", and therefore "not the same". No jokes on the meta-level please :o)

    Depends on the language, and the types of x and y. See e.g. python.
