I agree. I was using "List Comprehensions: Now In Color" as a working title but I thought that was too nonsensical. It was actually the colorized code and not the gifs in particular that made me think "visual".

Sorry for the misleading title!

It's a good document. I know list comprehensions already but still I found it entertaining to read - I think it'll enlighten a lot of people on this topic.

This article needs some more complex examples, e.g. comprehensions with multiple "for" clauses and more complex filtering. Perhaps an example using zip or enumerate.

E.g.

    cartesian_product = [(a,b) for a in [1,2,3] for b in ['a','b','c']]

Could really be nice when explained in color.

What's the font you're using in that gif? It looks good.

Ah, cheers :)
