Remarkable how if the parenthesis is shifted from lambda() to (lambda), people lose the ability to comprehend things.

In Emacs Lisp, you use one of these two:

(defun funcname (arg1 arg2) (+ arg1 arg2))

(lambda (arg1 arg2) (+ arg1 arg2))

— with the latter typically being an argument to another function or macro.
