Array Comprehensions

[Ryan Birmingham]

Hello all,

I frequently find myself desiring a short array or generator comprehension
syntax. I'm aware that there are functional ways around use of
comprehension syntax, but I personally (at least) love the syntax in the ES
reference (
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Array_comprehensions
).

The best previous discussion on this that I found was six years old (
https://esdiscuss.org/topic/array-comprehensions-shorter-syntax) and
answers some of my questions, raising others. That said, I wanted to ask:

   - Why is the Comprehension Syntax in the reference yet not more
   standard? It feels almost like a tease.
   - How do you usually approach or avoid this issue?
   - Do you think we should look at improving and standardizing the
   comprehension syntax?


Thank you all for humoring me,

-Ryan Birmingham
