I am not a keyboard warrior who got caught up in the nonsense, but I think some people were simply annoyed at adding syntactic sugar for very marginal benefit. “There should be one way to do things” mantra.

I have a long list of grievances with Python, but the walrus situation would never crack my top ten. Put effort into removing cruft from the standard library, make typing better, have the PSF take a stance on packaging. Anything else feels a better use of time.

Whatever, it won. I will never use it, but when I see it will have to scratch my head and lookup the syntax rules.
