The list comprehension syntax gets confusing for me to read especially with pattern matching.

List comprehensions make no sense to anybody at first. But after you work with and struggle against them for a few days/weeks, everything will click. You'll be a better developer for understand them more intuitively.

I don't know about that last part. I spent years with Erlang until finally list comprehensions became natural, and I still don't feel like a better programmer!
