I'm not sure if you are serious or not. But if the programmer can't do
mental adjustment for ":=" instead of "=" I'm not sure he will be able
to develop in C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, Fortran, Ada, SmallTalk, Eiffel
at the same time anyway. The most important mental adjustment is about
the design and the way to use the language, structure the code, certainly not
in changing ":=" by "="...
But maybe you see Eiffel and Python as so close that you don't need
mental adjustment ?
Pascal.
