On: Python and the Principle of Least Astonishment

[spacemanaki]

To be honest, I'm not really sure. I think it's a superficial difference. When I put this into a Ruby 1.9.2 REPL

    def foo (n)
        lambda {|i| n += i } end

I expected to be able to do this:

    acc = foo(0)
    acc(1)

But instead have to do

    acc.call(1)

Maybe there's another way...

Edit: oops you pointed out this example in another comment, sorry! Is there no way for the returned lambda to "feel" like a regular function?
