outlist = map(foo,inlist)
is still better in my book, and far more readable, than
outlist = [foo(x) for x in inlist]
The map form, in this case, parses instantly in my brain, while the listcomp certainly takes a few cycles. And note that I'm not talking about the typing conciseness, but about the effort for my brain. But maybe I'm just wired funny :)
Well, different at least. I find the map one harder to parse mentally. And not for lack of experience with functional programming. But to each their own. =)
