How so? Read Guido's argument above. Another way to answer this
question is that I have been programming with Python for almost a decade
and I've not used lambda. In fact, I have gone out of my way to NOT use
lambda because I am fully aware that the BDFL hates it. Reduce is no
longer in the standard library (although you can import it) and there
are equally good ways to do what lambda was designed for without the
hassle nor confusion.
Where do you get reduce from if it's not in the standard library? As
for lambda I've no real interest in it, other than when copying examples
where it's used to (say) provide a key function.
