I think this is purely a personal preference but I also think there is a bias towards list comprehensions being more difficult to mentally parse.

I do a lot of contract work and chatted with a ton of folks ranging from beginners to veterans. A lot of them (well more than half) avoid list compressions, especially when working with teams because it's such a mixed bag of either being able to instantly understand them or it requires more effort. Personally I don't use them in my code (for both reasons).

Both Ruby solutions are much more clear to me even though I have no functional programming background. I have no preference towards functional styles either, I would say it's the opposite. I struggled with Elixir long enough that I stopped using it.

I disagree about list comprehensions, as do more than half the people I’ve asked over the years.
