Old Abacus had the := operator, which allowed the user to create a variable that depended on other variables. This is possible in the new libabacus, however, it is more verbose. In old Abacus:

a = 1
b = 1
c := a+b

In the new abacus, this would be:

a = 1
b = 1
fun c(): num { a+b }

This is more verbose than I'd like. perhaps, add a syntax sugar for generating similar functions?

There is now sugar for this:

let c: num be a+b

There is now sugar for this: ``` let c: num be a+b ```
