Right there with you! I get it, languages have to grow or fix mistakes. I read about Python long before I attempted to program in it and even I (not a language designer or that special) knew that their handling of division as being integer division as a default was a long-term problem that would eventually be changed one way or another. And so it was. I absolutely agree on the walrus operator. It's too terse and while on its own it only makes two steps into one, it's not used alone, making each line of code with it that much harder to unpack. I don't know enough about pattern matching but my feeling is that we got along without it so far ...
