I mean, there is a lot wrong with it, but every language has its quirks. Generally I like discussing it’s actual flaws cause it helps me better understand the language.
a lambdo which can only contain one expression, and not even a statement is pretty much useless. For anything nontrivial you have to write a separate function and have the lambda be just a function call expression. Which completely defeats the point
Maybe I’m missing something, but:
So much Python criticism comes from people who don’t know the language.

And switch cases (called match cases) are there as well.
I use lambdas all the time to shovel GTK signal emitions from worker threads into GLib.idle_add in a single line, works as you’d expect.
Previous commenters probably didn’t look at Python in a really long time.
i mean tbf match case was only added in 3.10
