If I take the liberty in using the example above on our option list:
1. $someDict->map(fn($v) => $v * 2)->filter(fn($v) => $v % 3);
2. $someDict->map(function($v) => $v * 2)->filter(function($v) => $v %
3);
3. $someDict->map($v ==> $v * 2)->filter($v ==> $v % 3);
4. $someDict->map(($v) => $v * 2)->filter(($v) => $v % 3);        //
Ambiguous
5. $someDict->map([]($v) => $v * 2)->filter([]($v) => $v % 3);

Old proposals:
6. $someDict->map($v ~> $v * 2)->filter($v ~> $v % 3);
7. $someDict->map(lambda($v) => $v * 2)->filter(lambda($v) => $v % 3);

Something else which really pops in these examples is the effect of
not needing to use parentheses when embedding a single-arg short
lambda.   3 and 6 in your list read cleaner to me (due to the lack of
parenthesis clutter).  Sadly ~> has the same hacky implementation
issues as ==>, but I think that shows a little bit of why the HackLang
team decided the messy lexer was worth the clearer syntax.

Another possible syntax (dunno whether this has already been suggested
on-list):

$function = { $x => 2 * $x };
$function = { ($x) => 2 * $x };
$function = | $x => 2 * $x |;
$function = | ($x) => 2 * $x |;

Nikita and Levi prefer it with parenthesis, I prefer it without, because I
think it's unnecessary clutter.

A reason to use | ... | instead of { ... } would be to allow future object
literals.

Applying that to Sara's example becomes:
8. $someDict->map({$v => $v * 2})->filter({$v => $v % 3});
9. $someDict->map(|$v => $v * 2|)->filter(|$v => $v % 3|);

I also find that parenthesis makes it cluttered.
$someDict->map({($v) => $v * 2})->filter({($v) => $v % 3});

Cheers //Björn
