I wonder to what extent this improves
assert(equal(map!"2 * a"(filter!"a & 1"([1,2,3,4,5])), [2,6,10]));
One thing that's nicer with comprehensions is that you save a bit on
nested parens.
In my opinion, it improves it by looking more like math language (with
which I am familiar, but this is of course a subjective measure):
( list!"2 * a" | [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] & where!"a & 1" )
vs
{ 2 * a | a ∈ [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ], a & 1 != 0 }
I also feel it is less cluttered and 'flows' better than your example,
but this may very well be the same issue as above.
