I'm not sure what bugs me so much about 'stabby lambda' but I just don't like it.  The only advantage I can see is that since it is syntax, there might be some parse-time optimization that can be employed during construction of the lambda.  Since 'lambda' is a method invocation and not a keyword these optimizations might not be possible with 'lambda'.  Charles Nutter might have some words of wisdom on that since it is similar to the obstacles associated with eval being a method and not a keyword.
