Whey you need a simple function in Python, there is a choice between a
normal function declaration and an assignment of a anonymous function
(defined by a lambda-expression) to a variable:
def f(x): return x*x
or
f = lambda x: x*x
It would be however more convenient to be able to write instead just
f(x) = x*x
(like in Haskell and such).
Have this idea been discussed before?
I do not see any conflicts with the existing syntax. The following
would also work:
incrementer(m)(n) = n + m
instead of
incrementer = lambda m: lambda n: n + m
