Anecdotally, Programmers Dislike "Reduce"

Automated excerpt

In short: from my experience, people like map and filter, but not reduce. I use functions like map and filter all the time. I get plenty of feedback about other decisions, but not about my use of map and filter. I cannot say the same for reduce. Often, when I’ve submitted a patch with reduce inside, I get a comment like, “this part is hard to read. ” And I see reduce way less than map, filter, some, and so on. Anecdotally, I have come to believe that programmers don’t like reduce as much.
