You forgot those that look like Pascal and those that look like ML.

Except that the walrus operator “:=” is an assignment expression, whereas in Pascal it is an assignment statement, like “=” in many languages. In Pascal, the boolean comparison operator is “=” instead of “==” (in the same many languages).

And there is C where the assignment expression is just “=”, there is no assignment statement, and many forgotten double equals led to bugs …
