I'm a fan of "lambda(params) =3D> expr" myself, because unlike "fn", it ma=
kes it clear that this is a *new type of definition*, not just shorthand fo=
r an existing anonymous function=2E Of the other options, the C++ style als=
o offers this, because you have to add the =3D or & to turn on the auto-cap=
turing=2E

And to reiterate from previous discussions, it is the automatic capturing =
that is the biggest=E2=80=8B new feature here; it's a radical departure fro=
m every other scope in PHP, for better or worse=2E
