I used to dream about FP and Python; then I read about Guido's plans for removing `lambda` and `reduce` (http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196 http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196) and that is when I stopped writing Python.
- hat_matrix 13y agoThat disappointed me also, but the FP voice from the community is strong enough. Reduce lives on in functools and the functional package also adds additional functions, like compose. It's one of the packages I install first in a new Python installation. But true, Python will never grow into Haskell.

- hat_matrix 13y agoYes, not going away but not growing beyond the crippled, single-statement version it is now...
