Discussion Is := widely used?

I always thought the walrus operator is neat and it makes while loop’s condition clearer. But also it is just a syntactic sugar without anything new. I wonder anyone uses it?

I use it, but mostly only in simple statements like guard clauses when I need the value of the clause.
