Lately I’ve been writing a CLI application in Python to analyse and generally handle possibly megabytes of DNA data.
At first I wrote the code quickly and in haste of inspiration using some Numpy constructs, some functional maps (with list) and an occasional list comprehension. It has took WAY too long to convert to code to use iterators, because the syntax and semantics are so different.
In Lisp I could usually just switch the kind of map function to be lazy, iterative, or whatever I would like without changing and carefully thinking about the rest of the code.
I think this is the kind of glue the article points to.
