- [Are better lambdas really impossible?](https://discuss.python.org/t/are-better-lambdas-really-impossible/2446)
- [Simple multi-line lambda syntax](https://discuss.python.org/t/simple-multi-line-lambda-syntax/27499)

You are not the first person to ask this question, nor are you the first on this forum, nor the first within the last year.
