Ah great, I've been trying to make my Python look more like Scala! In all honesty, Return's docs call out how problematic if-else chaining is, and then proceeds to replace it with chained lambdas. How is that better? I'd go as far as to say that we can avoid a lot of the null coercion stuff with proper encapsulation, but that is basically saying, "We can solve Python's FP challenges with better object design," and I understand how that may sound like nails on a chalkboard to some. If this helps you write the kind of code you and your peers want and can understand, who am I to judge?
