this didn't faze me in the least because it's just a more easily typed λ, the lambda character, which has for a long time now (many decades) been used to describe anonymous functions (i.e. "lambdas")
did you never take any formal CS education? if not, that might explain it
so before you jump to calling it "dumb", maybe next time lean on Chesterton's Fence for a bit.

That said, granted, the fact that it's also the escape character is problematic. Maybe /\ might have been better but that's even harder to type.
