By itself I agree, every now and then you write a few lines that will be made a little shorter now that := exists.

But there's a long standing trend of adding more and more of these small features to what was quite a clean and small language. It's becoming more complicated, backwards compatibility suffers, the likelyhood your coworker uses some construct that you never use increases, there is more to know about Python.

Like f-strings, they are neat I guess. But we already had both % and .format(). Python is becoming messy.

I doubt this is worth that.
