Basically he wants to dumb down the language to make it more appealing to the mainstream programmer crowd. He wants another java. In the end, I think that mentality is a death sentence for the language.
From what I can tell, Python has always had this mentality. I think lambdas are a rather minor issue anyway. If you're going to slam Python for 'dumbing things down' to appeal to a 'mainstream programmer crowd' you can probably find better ammunition.
