Am I missing an obvious reason why there's a mapNotNull but no associateNotNull?

[Manuel Wrage]

I guess because associateNotNull wouldn't be used often.

[Nir]

Off the top of my head, I don't see an obvious reason why it would be used more or less than mapNotNull

[Nir]

You can achieve both by chaining from filter, of course

[Nir]

coming from python, mapNotNull and associateNotNull are basically the closest things to list and dict comprehensions, since you can both filter and apply a function in comprehensions

[Nir]

and I used filtering in dict comprehensions quite often
