In many languages, a variable binding would be called a *variable*, but Rust’s
variable bindings have a few tricks up their sleeves. For example the
left-hand side of a `let` expression is a ‘[pattern][pattern]’, not a
left-hand side of a `let` statement is a ‘[pattern][pattern]’, not a
variable name. This means we can do things like:

```rust
let (x, y) = (1, 2);
```

After this expression is evaluated, `x` will be one, and `y` will be two.
After this statement is evaluated, `x` will be one, and `y` will be two.
Patterns are really powerful, and have [their own section][pattern] in the
book. We don’t need those features for now, so we’ll keep this in the back
of our minds as we go forward.
