Hi all,
so Guido is talking about his reasoning behind dropping lambda,
reduce(), filter() and map() in the next generation of Python:

[Prime quote: "I think having the two choices side-by-side just
requires programmers to think about making a choice that's
irrelevant for their program; not having the choice streamlines
the thought process."]
But, philosophical point of view differences aside, I can't help
feeling there is *something* in his argument that might be worth
considering in the context of Perl6, which I can't quite put my
finger onto.
Regards,
