list comprehensions in FB?

[ganache]

I know that FB doesn't have any built-in syntax for list comprehensions like python or
some functional programming languages.
But can they be simulated. Examples would be nice.

You can embed Python code in FB code by compiling against libpython. Search the forum for details.

A list comprehension is not simply a list structure. It's a syntax for building lists using functional programming. It's kind of like an SQL query really. In fact in C#, the Linq list comprehension mechanism is used to implement an SQL-like syntax for a variety of data operations.

And according to some wiki, there are even macro-based implementations of list comprehensions for C: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/List_comprehensions#C. I don't understand the C example at all and didn't spend much time looking at it. But I'm sure macros could work in FB also.
