There are programming languages where that syntax is used for assignments to mutable vars (F# being one example).

Maybe play around with a language that uses that syntax?

This is an excellent suggestion! I was going to say that the only place I have seen arrows used are either struct membership in C or the fat arrow function in JS, and neither of those go from right to left. So playing around with F# might help.
