Sorry, I sincerely don’t mean to imply that you need to go digging up references for me. But I also ask you to give me the benefit of the doubt and assume I actually did some due diligence before posting this question to begin with and did not find any concrete proposals for anonymous functions outside of the existing lambda syntax. Not here, not in PEPs, and only very limited references on other forums. It’s entirely possible I’ve missed something.
That’s a strong reference given that it’s from BDFL. However, it’s also reasonable to ask whether an opinion held in 2006 is still relevant today.
Perfectly fair and reasonable.
