map and filter with list comprehensions

[James Hague]

Map and filter can be written with list comprehensions as follows:

map(Fun, L) ->
	[Fun(X) || X <- L].
filter(Pred, L) ->
	[X || X <- L, Pred(X)].

In the lists module of the standard library, filter is written using list
comprehensions, just as above.  Map looks like this:

map(F, [H|T]) ->
    [F(H)|map(F, T)];
map(F, []) ->
    [].

Is there a reason why the list comprehension version isn't preferred?
