If you recall, we've got == for comparison in Python and most of the
programming world. There is no ambiguity. x=10 syntax is just
impossible in Scheme without read macro hackery, because of the
s-expression syntax (which does have some virtues).

Yes, the Legend of Sir Graham. Lisp does need another success story,
public gets suspicious when the same one is repeated over and over
again.

(No, I'm not implying that Lisp is not being used for real [as in
non-academic] work. It is, Scheme isn't).
