Pencils down. Cool hack for Python right here. I guess this was up on LtU a few days ago. I saw it on The Farm, so.

Works like:

 # simple multiplication
 x=Infix(lambda x,y: x*y)
 print 2 |x| 4
 # => 8

 # class checking
 isa=Infix(lambda x,y: x.__class__==y.__class__)
 print [1,2,3] |isa| []
 print [1,2,3] <> []
 # => True

 # inclusion checking
 is_in=Infix(lambda x,y: y.has_key(x))
 print 1 |is_in| {1:'one'}
 print 1 <> {1:'one'}
 # => True

Anyway, this hacker—Ferdinand Jamitzky—sure would fit in well over here. He’s tread so close to our territory. What with the Ruby-like syntatic sugar he supplied for Python last year.

 5 *times(lambda: printf("Hello"))
 [1,2,3,4] *each(lambda x: printf("Count:"+str(x)))
 print [1,2,3,4,5] *length
 ['a','b','c','d','e'] *each(lambda char: char+'!')

I mean if he can make Python look like Ruby, maybe he can make Ruby look like dolphin sonar. Can you best these??
