kotlinlang

Hi. There are parts that make me wonder why it is not supported in Kotlin.
I first defined the variable using the Destructuring Declaration. And if I try to destruct and substitute it again, an error will occur. Is there a way to reuse variables with destructuring ?
```var (a, b) = somePair() // OK
(a, b) = somePair() // Error !```

There isn't a way, plus reusing variables isn't a good idea in the first place.

<@U06474ZDNDC> I wonder why it's not a good idea.

It's not a good idea because it means values change. If you take a look at the function, you cannot know in one single look what the value of `a`  will be, because it could be changed anywhere in the function.

I know this seems like a very small detail at first, but trust us, immutability makes everything a lot simpler. It allows writing much more complex systems while keeping individual functions simple.
