Enum.map_join with a comprehension
Do you think a join option would be a good idea for comprehensions?
Something like Enum.map_join/2 that could map and join lists in a single pass.
book_ids = for book <- books, join: ",", do: book.id
If it looks like a good idea, I will open a ticket / PR.

Well … decision on adding features and enhancements is up to @Elixir-Core-Team. What I can say is that you can already do that in a single pass using reduce option:
# Here is a simplified list
books = [%{id: 1}, %{id: 2}, %{id: 3}, %{id: 4}, %{id: 5}]
# Here is an example comprehension:
book_ids = for book <- books, reduce: "" do
"" -> book.id
acc -> "#{acc}.#{book.id}"
end
Helpful resource:
:reduce option in Kernel.SpecialForms.for/1

I think he means why doesn’t join take a function that’ll also map it for you, like into, or Map.new does?

You could write your own Collectable module and use :into to achieve this if you expect to use it often.

My guess would be because there already is a joiner optional argument, adding an extra optional mapper argument would have made it awkward to use?
join(enumerable, joiner \\ "", mapper \\ fn x -> x end)
