I think you're looking for "j" to join the lines. Depending on
where you are, I'd use f/F/t/T to jump to the desired location,
use D to delete the rest, and then use "j" to bring up the line
from below. In your specific example (where the cursor is
somewhere in the later parts of the "main = " line), I'd use

T=Dj

to jump backwards just shy of the "=", delete the rest, and join
the lines together.
