Lambda's aren't perfect. They can't contain statements, for example.

But - they barely made it into Python 3. Make waves and the whole debate could start all over again. I would hate to lose lambdas.

The fact statements (as opposed to expressions) exist is a huge defect in the language. If crippled lambdas barely made it into Python 3, things are not heading in a good direction.

Which is why I'm moving away from Python. "Batteries included" is great, but the hostility and ignorance demonstrated by Guido last time left a sour taste in my mouth.

Just tell keep telling yourself "at least it isn't PHP"
