I don't write Python. But I do program in a few different languages (Ruby, Elixir, ES6, CoffeeScript, Rust...)
Is this a thing? Are Lambdas "Unpythonic?" or is the writer of the article totally off base?
- newfocogi 8y agoThe author is entitled to his perspective, but I would equate this article to JS articles titled "A framework author's advice to avoid frameworks". Its a trendy article because it takes something that a lot of people use and describes its weaknesses. Fun to read and argue with, but not a mainstream idea.
- dguo 8y agoGuido van Rossum actually considered removing lambdas in Python 3.
