Assignment vs equality (and more generally, expressions vs statements) about rockstar

[gaborsch]

Only one idea came into my mind: assignments could use has, have, has got, have got 's got got (possessive expressions) syntax for an assignment expression. It's an unused yet very common language feature, I think.

Janie’s got a gun  (assigns Janie the value of  'a gun', single statement)

It would save this famous line, since the poetic assignment now requires the like keyword. It's a breaking change anyways.

Let a mistake be like a kiss
While our love has a mistake without like forgiveness is stronger than nothing  
Make a mistake our love
Shout our love! Baby
(counts down from 3 to 1)

(Don't ask how much time did it take to create a bearably-sounding example... 😅 )

The key is the While line: we assign a mistake - 1 to our love, then compare the value to 0.
The bad thing is that we may lose the in-place increment/decrement capability (our love has without 1 would be really useful but does not sound good at all, at least for me)
