gollark: I use lambdas all the time, they're great!
gollark: `myVariable = () => { myVariable = "MWAHAHAHAHA" }`
gollark: Not a well-typed one, at least.
gollark: Because you literally cannot write a general function `max` which returns the biggest of two numbers.
gollark: `if err != nil { return err }`, `lol no generics`, and `if x > y { return x } else { return y }`, yes.
