Yes, as a dev who started in Python and has done more JS recently, I’ve really come to believe that the chaining of in-line functions is a better approach in the end. Python theoretically has the advantage of working with lists or iterators, but in practice, all you really use are lists.
To be fair many tools use iterator types that are not lists like Django querysets. I feel the nice thing in Python is generator expressions, so for lots of code you can decrease the memory footprint and speed some code up through easy lazy evaluation. I do appreciate the clarity of function chaining, and I think Rust made particularly good decisions around iteration in that way. Function chaining ideally needs good w…
If you’re doing a list comprehension with a Django queryset, you’re risking having a million accidental DB requests
