Wait does python not have built in functional list comprehension? Even PHP has that built in at this point.

Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They're saying the team doesn't like using them.

My take is that other than C++, where it's reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language

As per all too often, the functional programming world invented them. Haskell (and its ilk) usually has all the future cool stuff already. Then python picks it up, then it moves over to C#/Java, then C++ says "mee too"!
