You definitely should! Take a look at the Uniplate paper for some
wonderful concise uses of list comprehensions for abstract syntax tree
traversals. If you use a language like F# they become even more common -
due to a clunkier syntax for lambdas, less library functions and no
operator sections. In my F# I rarely use a map at all.
But my faviourite list comprehension trick was shown to me by Colin
Runciman:
prettyPrint b (lhs :+: rhs) = ['('|b] ++ f lhs ++ " + " ++ f rhs ++
[')'|b]
Imagine b represents whether something should be bracketed or not. In
general:
if boolean then [value] else []
Can be written as:
[value | boolean]
Thanks
