There are already constructs like this. In all programming languages, you see variable names like data or result all over the place. Additionally, when using the python interpreter, there is a special variable _ for the last expression evaluated.
- euyyn 9y agoEither Kotlin or eXtend already have "it" for the default variable name of single-parameter lambdas.

For example, (open-file "blah" 'for-writing) (write (the open-file) "hello world") (close it) Or (length (list "milk" "pudding")) (print "number of items is " (the length))
