I think the biggest reason python map/filter aren't natural is the building outwards (though I do realize it's lispy and some people might prefer it). Languages that support it directly on a list are much more intuitive in my head: list.filter().map()... Alternatively, pull in syntax like elixir (and other languages) have to make chaining a breeze: list |> map() |> filter()
