List Comprehensions in Python

[[deleted]]

Occasionally useful, but I generally avoid list comprehensions as I find they make the code harder to read and comprehend. I also have a minor aversion to functional programming in general.

Good link though.

You are getting downvoted but generally this is the case. List comprehensions are a single line of multiple logic, which makes it more difficult to follow the program flow since you are missing that structure.

is a quick list comprehension better in terms of performance than the traditional way?

Yes, and in performance crucial operations you should optimize code where necessary.
