You can always simulate your own n-ary map using gather:

gather { for @loop Y @pos -> $arr, $i { take $a[ $i ]; } }
Although allowing map to take multiple items from the list at once would be nicer, and it's something I've wanted rather often.

    Sure, works in current Pugs! :)

    @result = map { $^a + $^b } 1,2,3,4; # 3,7 @result = map -> $a, $b { $a + $^b } 1,2,3,4; # 3,7 # And: $result = reduce { $^a + $^b * $^c } 1,2,3,4,5; # same as $result = (1 + 2 * 3) + 4 * 5; # i.e. # 27
