I have an excellent idea. Create your own programming language and do
whatever you want with it. Until then, I'm thinking that Guido can do

On Guido van Rossum's website:

lambda, reduce(), filter() and map() constructs in a future version
Python 3000.

Temperature in Luleå,
addendum:
reduce() in fact embodies a form of iteration/recursion on lists, very
suitable in a functional language environment. If Python's lambda and
other functional facilities are more powerful, reduce() would be a good
addition. For instance, in functional programing, it is a paradigm to
