Somehow, I missed that. What kind of type inference, if any, is allowed? Scala and C# allow omiting the type. Lately I'm doing a lot of (x) => { return x.foo(7); } in C# and it's nice to omit the amazingly long type for x. The IDE even knows the type of x for intellisense... I think scala would allow x => foo(7), or maybe even => _.foo(7) or even _.foo(7). I haven't written much scala, so I may be way off...
