Interesting that Guido says lambda is confusing.
Interesting also that he is proposing two functions in place of
print(x,y,z):
write(x,y,z)
writeln(x,y,z)
This sounds very similar to Paul Prescod's proposal a few days ago on
this newsgroup, except that Paul is proposing to do it all with one
show() function. I like the one function.
Other surprises: Deprecating reload()
Thanks for the link.
