fun Unit main() {
  let myLambda = lambda String (Bool caps) {
    if caps {
      return "HELLO"
    }
    else {
      return "Hello"
    }
    
  }
  fmt.println(myLambda(true))
}

Transpiled

package main

import fmt "fmt"

func main() {
	myLambda := func(caps bool) string {
		if caps {

			return "HELLO"
		} else {

			return "Hello"

	}
	fmt.Println(myLambda(true))
	// Eliminates any 'unused variable' errors
	_ = myLambda

}

Output
