Hi guys,
I'm a little worried about the expected disappearance of lambda in python3000. I've had my brain badly broken by functional programming in the past, and I would hate to see things suddenly become harder than they need to be.
Don't worry, it's not gonna go away because too much software is
depending on it. If you don't follow the advice that lambda is deprecated and you keep using it, more software will depend on it and it will never disappear :)
Personally I'm not a fan of functional programming but lambda *is* useful when I want to say for example:
f (callback=lambda x, y: foo (y,x))
I don't believe it will ever disappear.
