Fine, not technically lambdas, but still: function bodies declared inline in function calls. This provides great flexibility in higher-order functions. > There is no sane way you could embed statements into an expression with whitespace-based block syntax. Ruby does it. Of course, Ruby has a limitation that a function call may only have one "block", but still - Ruby blocks are statements embedded into an expression in a whitespace-based syntax.
