Why Learning Haskell/Python Makes You a Worse Programmer

  # `None` means `lambda x: x` here

I find it more helpful to think of it as meaning `bool` in that context. I think the None special case is only there because filter() predates bool() in Python.

Thanks. `bool` is more readable.

  "\n".join(filter(bool, descriptions))

Or `len`

  "\n".join(filter(len, descriptions))
