In reply to @toonn:matrix.org
I think the point is more that "to assign" is more commonly understood than "to bind."
Can one say then you assign a value to a variable and you bind an expression to a variable. The second is said in nix repl help. Also binding functions vs assigning values?

@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn You bind to identifiers rather than values. 16:52:22
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn In most languages functions aren't first-class values so a different term is useful to distinguish what you do with them. 16:52:54
