The first time I saw "==>" I was like "what the eff?", but then you know what I did? I looked up what it did, and I haven't had a problem reading it since. In fact, I have a much easier time reading a short lambda than an over verbose function declaration sitting in the middle of another expression. I don't think PHP needs to adopt every feature that the majority of the most used languages have chosen to implement, but this one should really be a no-brainer, regardless of which token is used. Because code-beauty does matter. Beautiful code is code that is easier to maintain, and code that is easier to maintain is often more secure and reliable. That's all. -Sara
