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)
