The only difference between dict and lambda is time.
Well, "more arbitrary" was perhaps a rather loose way of saying it. What I meant was that the chain of associations is shorter for "lambda" than for "s-expression", because the "s" refers to a word the reader is probably already familiar with, but "lambda" doesn't refer to anything pre-existing that's semantically related. Not that there's anything wrong with that -- mathematicians love to endlessly re-use the same rather small set of symbols, so sometimes they have to make a completely arbitrary choice. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
