functions in a dictionary

[Skaperen]

i use "ugly" for programming code in a broader sense than just the opposite of "pretty". it also include "inelegant" and other bad things. i wanted to point out doing "def" followed by assigning its name to another. but it makes natural sense to me to assign a lambda to a variable and that's the name of the function. this is because some of the languages i have work with in the past did their functions that way. they just used "function" or some syntactic expression and not "lambda". i wanted to see if anyone disagreed with any part of that.
