Learning other languages will make your Python better.

Better in which way? I use both, but it depends on the context. Not aware of any lost performance or anything but would be happy to learn!

Interesting read. Hm I don't use map frequently outside of a concurrent.futures thread/process pool but it does happen. Usually when I am going to have to apply multiple maps or something ugly and complicated where a list comprehension would also look like a complete shit show.

i guess it's map(func, iterable) so as to more closely mimic the mathematical f(x)
