I have an excellent idea. Create your own programming language and do
whatever you want with it. Until then, I'm thinking that Guido can do
whatever he wants with his. But I'm guessing that your programming
skills will be in the same place as your greatness - in your own head.

addendum:
reduce() in fact embodies a form of iteration/recursion on lists, very
suitable in a functional language environment. If Python's lambda and
other functional facilities are more powerful, reduce() would be a good
addition. For instance, in functional programing, it is a paradigm to
nest

Xah Lee, 200509
On Guido van Rossum's website:
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196
dated 20050826, he muses with the idea that he would like to remove
lambda, reduce(), filter() and map() constructs in a future version
Python 3000.
