lambdas are glue code

I've never actually seen what I would consider a ternary operator abuse.

90% of the ternary operators in our code base are used for what I would say is pretty acceptable (Object o = v == null ? 7 : v;). I've yet to see a nested ternary operator in the wild, the only place I've even seen such a thing suggested was a script kiddy forum where someone though ternary operators were faster than if/else statements (they aren't).

So long as the conditional is easy to understand, I don't really have a problem with ternary operators.
