[Python-ideas] A simple proposal concerning lambda

[Mike Miller]

I've often thought the same about "lambda."

Although I've long since gotten used to the word, "def" without a function name 
seemed like a better choice, especially for beginners.

+0.25 for proposal ONE

However, parentheses should be allowed and lambda put on a long deprecation 
schedule.
