<p>I've noticed that what a lot programmers think of as "dumb code" is actually a lack of techniques to reduce code duplication. Lambdas are unlikely to meet anybody's definition of "dumb code", but they are a powerful technique for removing redundancy.</p>
<p>Cleverness as an end to itself shouldn't be done outside of games like Perl Golf. Neither should cleverness be avoided when it helps manage complexity.</p>
