Now that our language's type system is more fleshed out and pleasant to use, it's time to shift our focus to the ergonomics of the language itself. I've been mentioning `let/in` and __lambda__ expressions for a while now. The former will let us create names for expressions that are limited to a certain scope (without having to create global variable bindings), while the latter will allow us to create functions without giving them any name at all.
