Re^2: cool way of manipulating array elements

I wish I could upvote this multiple times. map is very cool, and can give you a marvelously compact syntax, but a simple foreach or while loop does the same thing and is (usually) easier to read.

I use map, not for its "compact syntax", but depending on the use case. This example, in my opinion, is the perfect use case for `map`: transform an array using some criteria and return a new array. `for` (or, `foreach` if you like) has its place, but I don't find it inherently more readable than `map`.
