Not sure how that is my "problem". > There are features that other people like (such as using [asterisk] in unpacking), and so features you like are weighted against their use cases, and a reasonable compromise is made. I like that [asterisk] syntax too. > And frankly, I think if you like to use lambdas that much, you really want to program in a language where everything is an expression, such as Lisp or Haskell. Or I could just keep using Python 2.7 which works just fine, and not move to version 3 where I'm not welcome.

> Not sure how that is my "problem". It's your problem in e.g. where you want list returned by default where Python 3 returns an iterator by default. Why is that useful for many people was already explained. > I like that [asterisk] syntax too. Funny, AFAIK it is Python 3 only.. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3132/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3132/ > Or I could just keep using Python 2.7 which works just fine, and not move to version 3 where I'm not welcome. You are welcome to use Python 3, but - suit yourself. :-)
