Utility functions appropriate?

[ragnard]

Hi @jstaffans!

Great to hear you've found Lambada useful. In general, I think I'd like to keep lambada as minimal as possible. For example, I considered adding a simpler way to write lambda functions that receive/return JSON because that's such a common use-case. But then I'd have to either choose a JSON library for all users, a decisions a I don't think a library like this should make, or create some kind of marshalling abstraction you could implement for any library, but that would have very little benefit over the 3 lines of code required by a user to do the JSON parsing. That said, if you have more details on the utility functions you have in mind I'd be happy to hear them.

After some more thought I think you're right, it's better to leave this library as it is - the utility functions I had in mind would introduce some library coupling. Thanks for the insight!
