Hello Sir.

all true, but my example was bad simplification from the original code.

The "ugly" part is to insert the multi-step function into #:when -clause
and in case of success use function's internal parameter (columns) only.
My imperative mind wants to use "continue" in the place "empty" below:

(for*/list ([(start end) (in-parallel 1 1000)]
               [i (in-range start (sub1 end))])
  (let* ((columns (string-split (vector-ref vector i) ","))
         (col# (length columns)))
    (if (< 2 col#)
        (first columns)
        empty)))

Also, since you're not actually interested in the value of i, you
should probably use in-vector rather than in-range. The whole example
would be:

(for/list ([value (in-vector vector)]
            #:when (< 0 (length value)))
   value)

I think you're looking for #:when / #:unless.

Hello users,

What is the proper design pattern to skip invalid values
when using for/list?

The programs below fails because #:continue is not recognized:

for/list ([i (in-range 0 1000)])
   (let ((value (vector-ref vector i)))
     (if (< 0 (length value))
         value
         #:continue)))

Sure, I could bypass this limitation by building the list explicitely
with plain "for + cons" or:

(define result-list
   (for/list ([i (in-range 0 1000)])
     (let ((value (vector-ref vector i)))
       (if (< 0 (length value))
           value
           empty))))

=> then filter empties from result-list with another loop...
