What others have said in this thread is all good/correct.
Maybe it's worth pointing out that using mapping and other sequence-processing functions is common in (real) functional languages, especially in purely functional (lazy) languages.
The benefits and performance considerations are different for such languages. Among other things, such a programming style helps you think at the level of streams or functions that operate on them, rather than thinking at the level of the individual objects acted on in the streams.
OOTB Lisp isn't really made for such streaming-style programming.
