Maybe I’m missing something, but:
- Python Lambda Functions - https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_lambda.asp
- Python map - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-map-function/
- They do have list comprehension, which let you basically one line a map operation more intuitively too.
I mean, there is a lot wrong with it, but every language has its quirks. Generally I like discussing it’s actual flaws cause it helps me better understand the language.
