The OP may be being confused by JavaScript, where they have "arrow
functions", which are what Python calls lambda: anonymous functions. It
uses an arrow in the syntax:
(x,y) -> x+y
In JS, they're sometimes called "fat arrow" functions, because they
are spelled "=>". Maybe there's some other language where they're
spelled "->"?
I think it's Cameron who's confused. :-)
Likely. It is months since I wrote any JavaScript, and I've never
enjoyed it. It is a hellscape of callbacks and closures, and an object
model as thin as Perl's.
The OP said "Java". Java has "->"; JavaScript has "=>".
Hah. Are there not languages where "=>" is an alternate spelling of
greater-than-or-equal?
