Actually there is a let and let* equivalent as well:

  (let* ((v1 e1) (v2 e2)) e3)  ⟶ ((v1:=e1), (v2:=e2), e3)[-1]
Dr. Racket example:

    > (let* ((x (+ 3 4)) (y (* x x))) (+ y (- x) 8))
    50
Python equivalent:

    >>> ((x:=3+4), (y:=x**2), y-x+8)[-1]
    50

Yes, with walrus expression, lambda gains a lot of flexibility
