About the lambdas you are right, they’re good just if you have trivial functions, like in other languages. If you need more “power” just use normal functions.
PS: if I mispelled “inspect” or anything else... sorry, I’m not a native speaker, I wish I could speak and write better but the truth is that my English sucks... :(
However, I do want to refute that English skill has anything to do with the things I'm pointing out. Your English is fine, plus I don't care, as I also had to learn English as a second language. The issues are purely technical.
First, `BaseException` is introduced in the refactored versions, not in the original code - so it's hardly Peter's fault. Second, the misspelling is in code, and it stops the REPL example from working ("from inpect import signature") - the REPL code looks like it's copy & pasted from the console, but it can't be.
So "suspect" was probably the wrong word to use here, even if that code has been altered. I hope you can use the feedback to improve the article, even if the feedback is worded poorly!
About the mispelled word I didn’t notice it... that’s weird, it IS a copy and paste, probably when I pasted it I lost that line and I rewrote it?
Can’t remember, I posted the original article on Medium on December 2017. However I will surely modify the article next week to address that typo, thanks!
For what it's worth, I actually would never have guessed that; in fact, I think your English is better than that of many native English speakers I know. Keep at it!
