I am glad too. Being consistent with other languages is a laudable goal, but
since programming languages aren't identical, the needs for Java can lead to
a different conclusion. The fat arrow syntax does look odd; I admit it. So
in terms of vanity, I am glad to see that punted. The equals character is
just too strongly associated with assignment and equality.
