I think that having a way to make anonymous functions is very
important. While, as someone relatively new to sage, I haven't used in
sage, I use it all the time in math (For example, my prefered
definition of the Mandlebrot set is {x|x ∊ ℂ; lim_(n->∞)
(λz:z^2+x)ⁿ(0)≠∞} )...I quite like the idea of using "|->" but some other possibilities are: - 'l' instead of the full lambda... - or some other substring of lambda like "la", "lam", etc... Another possibility, though I suspect just about everyone will scream at me for it, and even I'm not sure I like it... is using unicode (ie λ x : ...). While on this topic, it would be neat if we could support recursive anonymous functions...
