minus-squarecrispy_kilt@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoI don’t think it would be readable. Too much going on. You’d need an outer iter over lines, an inner over words, a check for number and a conversion. And there would be zero error handling.
minus-squareAVincentInSpace@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 months agoNo less readable than half the Python comprehensions I’ve written. zero error handling. Not necessarily. The macro could look for a ? at the end of the final expression (the bit that comes first in a comprehension) and return a Result.
