I agree. I resisted LCs when they first came out, passing them off as
unnecessary, confusing, etc. Eventually, I came to be comfortable with
them and use them often.
I did not realize just how far my mind-change had gone until just
yesterday when I was hacking on some PHP code. I wrote:
$values = array();
foreach ($ids as $id) {
$values[] = $id;
}
and found myself asking my office-mate, "Hey, Chris, does PHP have list
comprehensions?" I was bummed to discover that it does not.
