Something that I think it would be nice to mention, is that the first change you see while you're writing functional programming, is that you're writing less code. But this is just an small consequence of other bigger concept.
The main difference between the for loop and the filter, is that you as a programmer don't have to be aware of how to do the filtering inside the list. You're focus on "what to do" (filter) and not "how to do it" (for loop). This cool concept is there every time you're writing functional programming, because it allows you to be more Declarative and less imperative :D
