Python devs have introduced list comps only after asking about their
"ergonomicity" level to many people. And for most of those people code like
this:
result1 = [x * x + 5 for x in xrange(10)]
result2 = {x: x * x for x in xrange(20)}
Allows the programmer to see code purpose better and create higher-level mental
chunks than code like:
result1 = map(lambda x: x * x + 5, xrange(10))
result2 = {}
for x in xrange(20):
result2[x] = x * x
