I wouldn't say I like it but I would say that pretty much every other syntax for lambda that I've seen looks worse 😅 except for the unicode λ in Granule, of course 😉

Or were you thinking of the parens being mandatory?
although this is probably a terrible terrible syntax anyway considering we may want to eventually use lambda at the type level
