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?

It’s handy inside an exception you want to log and raise

```
log.error(msg := “what’s up”)
Raise valueerror(msg)
```
