Scala has something similar with "placeholder syntax for anonymous functions", where _.methodname() or _ + 1 is equivalent to x => x.methodname

  For single placeholders I prefer the look of either the `_` syntax or the alternative some PLs have of `.`. But otoh, Raku nicely stretches the approach to both zero and multiple placeholders: * The zero placeholder `.methodname` in Raku is the same as Scala's `_.methodname` * Any number of placeholders are allowed, so one can write eg `* + *` as an anonymous binary add function.
