I agree. My main problem is I don't want intermediary variables floating around. Especially something like "areas". If python localized variables to a blocked namespace, I wouldn't mind

In scala:

---

val widths = Seq(1,2,3)

val heights = Seq(4,5,6)

widths.zip(heights).foreach { case (w, h) => {

  val area = w * h

  if (area > 10) {

    println(s"Area: ${area}")

  }

}}

println(area) // error: not found: value area
