Does _any_ language support that paradigm ?

AFAIK, lisp  can do assignments to lists, but I don't know the syntax.

I once used a language that allowed for functions with multiple return 
values:

a, b := myfunc(x);

I felt that this makes some sense, but

a,b := 0    just as a short for

a := 0; b := 0;

does not seem like a great improvement.
