Agree, core feature of Python is to be readable and familiar. While I enjoy reading more advanced deep dives in language features, at the point you’re being crafty to flex, it’s likely bad idea; aka if next person reading your code mostly will have no clue what it’s doing, it’s likely a bad idea to do.

Wish there was a way to visualize or rate how average code is - especially two separate versions covering same concept; hence my other comments on resources to quantify usage patterns.
