# LegibleLambdas
[](https://travis-ci.com/MasonProtter/LegibleLambdas.jl)
Legible Lambdas for Julia.
## Installation
In julia **v1.0+**, type `]` to enter package mode, and:
```
pkg> add LegibleLambdas
```
## Introduction
LegibleLambdas.jl provides a macro `@λ` (and an alias `@lambda`) for
defining a type of anonymous function which is printed in a nicer form
than the relatively uninformative gensyms of traditional anonymous
functions.
Compare the printing of
```julia
julia> f = x -> x + 1
#1 (generic function with 1 method)
```
with
```julia
julia> using LegibleLambdas
julia> g = @λ(x -> x + 1)
(x -> x + 1)
```
This 'just works' inside most closures too!
```julia
julia> D(f, ϵ=1e-10) = @λ(x -> (f(x+ϵ)-f(x))/ϵ)
D (generic function with 2 methods)
julia> D(sin)
(x -> ((sin)(x + 1e-10) - (sin)(x)) / 1e-10)
julia> D(sin, 0.01)
(x -> ((sin)(x + 0.01) - (sin)(x)) / 0.01)
```
