All sorts of things can work, one that looks quite nice:

lambda { foo = 1|2 -> puts foo }

But I would suggest that everyone give the -> () {} notation chance. I
really hated it at first too, but it has grown on me and I am starting
to like it even more then goal posts b/c of the way it brings the
parameters outside of the block.
