"I do understand that this might not be the case for other people, but that doesn't make the one option 'more expressive' then the other." Look, I like the comprehensions better. I also think if you polled a large group of programmers and asked them what the code does, more of them will understand the comprehension than the map. Does that mean it's more expressive? I don't know, know one here agrees on a definition for expressiveness. But that's at least one positive (IMO) of comprehensions. Also, stacking multiple comprehensions together is much easier (cartesian multiple style). E.g.: (i,j) for i in list_1 for j in list_2. This is much easier to write and understand with comprehensions. * Note - I know comprehensions from Python, let me know if the cartesian multiple example doesn't work in CoffeeScript.
