I agree. As I said it’s those programmers coming in from non-functional languages (likely the majority). When you’re conditioned to using for loops with mutation, it can feel strange to use these new patterns. I think comprehensions, map, and reduce are becoming more common in other non-functional languages, so maybe newer programmers would instinctively reach for these first.
