Moka - Minimalist functional python library

  I like the idea, but there seems to be a bit of a performance hit. >>> from timeit import Timer >>> mokatimer = Timer("l = List(range(1000)).extend(range(1000, 2000)).keep(lambda x: (x % 3) == 1)", setup="from moka import List") >>> regtimer = Timer("l = range(1000); l.extend(range(1000, 2000)); l = [n for n in l if (n % 3) == 1]") >>> mokatimer.timeit(10000) 16.502125024795532 >>> regtimer.timeit(10000) 2.5419421195983887 I tried pre-generating the range to see if that was throwing it off the timer: >>> regtimer = Timer("l = []; l.extend(range1000); l = [n for n in l if (n % 3) == 1]", setup="range1000 = range(1000)") >>> mokatimer = Timer("l = List().extend(range1000).keep(lambda x: (x % 3) == 1)", setup="from moka import List; range1000=range(1000)") >>> regtimer.timeit(10000) 1.0892798900604248 >>> mokatimer.timeit(10000) 7.714169979095459 I didn't look at the source, but it looks like moka needs to be optimized to use list comprehension for .keep. Other methods could probably use comprehension (or generators) too.

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I totally agree about the performance hit. I'm still thinking about the interface and what methods Moka should provide. After that, I'll make a pass to optimize constructs as much as possible.

  Came here to post a link to this after seeing it on Reddit. I might have just fallen in love a little bit.
