@tpolecat @rit For most languages, something like "val x, y = …" would be multi-return, not multi-evaluate.

@djspiewak @tpolecat @rit Particularly useful when doing something like val x, y, z = buf.readInt

@propensive @tpolecat @rit I discovered it like this: val port1, port2 = freePort()

@djspiewak @propensive @tpolecat @rit probably made that way to support the other abomination, Enumeration

@copumpkin @propensive @tpolecat @rit Oh I completely forgot about Enumeration. Does it really use that syntax? (please say no)

@djspiewak @copumpkin @propensive @rit yep, object X extends Enumeration { val Foo, Bar = Value }

@tpolecat @copumpkin @propensive @rit Holy mother of…

@djspiewak @tpolecat @copumpkin @rit Oh, actually, that one *is* the canonical use case! I'd forgotten that.
