readability is always more important. The "magic" is just a sign of bad code or code that is too heavily abstracted. why have everybody learn this so called magic when you can be more explicit? this is all religious programming views but i personally am pretty tired of things being way too abstracted. it makes getting shit done take too long.

OP here.

This is what I tried to address. "Too abstracted" is far too subjective. Is "map" on a collection too abstract?

Dont get me wrong, code can be too abstract. But dont mistake too abstract for the unfamiliar.
