-Lambdas in Python can be written as pointy blocks in Perl 6.
+Lambdas in Python are equivalent to anonymous subroutines in Perl 6.
+One way to write them is as pointy blocks.
 
 Python
-    l = lambda i: i * n
+    l = lambda i: i + 12
 Perl 6
-    $l = -> $i { $i * $n }
+    $l = -> $i { $i + 12 }
 
-Pointy blocks (like all blocks) have their own scope.
+Another Perl 6 idiom for constructing lambdas is the Whatever code, C<*>.
+A C<*> can be used in an expression to indicate that the expression is a
+block, and that the C<*> should be replaced by the first parameter to
+the block.
+
+Perl 6
+    $l = * + 12
+
+See the section below for more constructs.
