> they’ve always seemed like a SQL query compressed into a single line (or two if you’re lucky!):
If its more than a very simple expression, with one simple for, and no if or very simple if, I try to use at least (more, with parens, if necessary): one line for the result expression, one line for each for clause, and one line for each if clause.
But, while the boundary is subjective, it doesn’t take much before functional pipeline style is clearer (Python lambdas being more limited and syntacticaly cumbersome, functional pipeline style isn’t as clean in Python as it is in other languages, though.)
