Is it possible to add or improve the syntax for consecutively defined variables and consecutive assignments?

The current syntax for defining variables/constants doesn't work very well, you either have to write multiple lines or you have to use the deconstruction syntax:

var a = 3
var b = 4
var c = 5
var (d,e) = (6,7)

Can it be written in one of the following forms?

var a = 1, b = 2
var a, b = 1, 2

The assignment syntax doesn't work very well either, you can only assign one value at a time:

var a = 3
var b = 4
a = 4
b = 5

Can it be written in one of the following forms?

(a, b) = (4, 5)
a, b = 4, 5

And the continuous assignment syntax is not currently supported, currently only:

a = 4
b = 4 //or b = a
a = {b = 4; b}

It would be great to support this writing!

a = b = 4

thanks!
