This is true, but its mostly transparent unless you're doing something particularly ugly.

Like trying to take one of these as parameter or return it?

This is a statically typed language mind you. If you're passing something around as values, you're gonna need to declare what its type is (of course there's type inference, but that just turns it into a totally different language)

You should need to know whether you require the lambda you're accepting to return some value or not, and its type.
