That fundamentally changes the readability of Squeak code and makes all future code written that way incompatible with other Smalltalks.<br>
And besides, some of us grey beards *like* our assignment arrows! ;-)<br>
If you really want that then create your own language variant or maintain your own fork of Squeak. Its not that hard after all, I'm doing both at present myself!<br>
