Looks like Ruby to me, so you know I love it.  :)

Nice lambda syntax really matters.  If that tool is too heavy, I only 
use it half as often as I should.

What is to be made of that last sentence? If you have a choice between
the following, The lambda version is still shorter.

function() {}
lambda() {}

  {||}

Not from where I'm sitting... 'lambda' is shorter than 'function', but 
'{||}' is shortest of all... or perhaps I don't understand you?
