[ruby-core:101856] [Ruby master Feature#15921] R-assign (rightward-assignment) operator

Issue #15921 has been updated by dgutov (Dmitry Gutov).


This is not as bad as the "pipeline operator" (which didn't do what its name said), but still, why add this?

It's not like the new syntax makes anything possible that a simple assignment does not.

The "method chains" example is perhaps a counter-example, but having the assignment at the end of the line, after the last segment of the expression, is not so great for readability.

It also looks too much like an annotation ("here's what this expression returns") popularized by xmlfilter (e.g. http://til.justincampbell.me/annotate-ruby-code-in-vim-with-xmpfilter/), and not a real assignment.
