Yes I did, really. Compare (in fixed-width font):
( [x
source [1,2,3].iter() for x in [1,2,3]
increment .map(lambda x: x+1) for x in [x + 1]
if even .filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0) if x % 2 == 0]
.to_list()
)
Same source and two transformations, executed in the same order, written in the
same order.
Steven executes the increment before the filter, keeps odds instead of evens,
and wrote the increment even before the source.
You do have the same steps (increment and keep evens) as the original and
execute them in the same order, but you *wrote* the first transformation
*before* the source, nested instead of flat, which reads inside-out in zig-zag
fashion. Not that bad with so few transformations, but if we want to do a few
more, it'll likely get messy. While the OP's and mine will still read straight
from top to bottom.
