If this were an equation, you'd be right. But it isn't an equation. It is have noan assignment. If you continue to support a paradigm that runs counter to people's expectation, you will have no piece.

You don't. An OpenSCAD program is like a big math equation. x = x + 1 is
illegal because x can't have two values at once.

Well exactly.  It sure looks like a programming language to me.  It has
everything you find in a programming language, including comments, semicolon
delimiters, functions, all the tschotschkes you find in a programming
language.  Except variables.  Unless you're running a loop, in which case
you do get variables.

Ehhh???

And we all know that a = a + 1 is because keypunches didn't have a
left-arrow key.  Some languages like APL and SAIL do use the left arrow to
please the mathematicians in the audience.  All I know is that Openscad
should offer real variables.  Apparently I wasn't the only one to get caught
by this.
