"This is also possible in Python but at the needless cost of naming and defining a function first"

The cost of defining the function first is probably much less than the cost of your do function. Your proposal seems to be much more limited than passing functions around e.g. Python allows you to pass in multiple functions where appropriate, or to store them for later calling.
