Python Quirks: Lambdas - Philip Trauner

Python lambdas are weird and underpowered... But why?

Well beacause of this concept of pythonicity is probably why is this language so popular, however the largest downside of python for me is the use of basic functional programming concepts. Lambdas are too clunky. map and filter are non-preferred here in spite of list comprehensions (which I find as readable as maps). reduce was thorwn away into functoolz... etc... Maybe thats my subjective feeling, but comming from the data-analysis/data-engineering backround, I'm noticing general shift towards functional programming concepts - especially when working with big-data. But than again, maybe thats just me.
