Hi,
CVS just saw three new abstractions for the [list]-abs collection, that have been inspired by the functional programming functions map, reduce and filter, known from Python and elsewhere. I attached the patches to this mail as well.
The basic idea of how to do this in Pd is by IOhannes and Thomas Musil. (IOhannes and I were discussing it at the LAC in Berlin.) Instead of having the function to map inside the list-abstraction, as I did it with [list-apply], now the operation to do on the list items is handled outside the abstraction through a cross-connection. You'll better understand what I mean by looking at the help files.
Ciao
