In python I can do nested list comprehensions, for instance I can flatten the following array thus:
a = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] [i for arr in a for i in arr] >
a = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] [i for arr in a for i in arr]
You can get some mileage out of using the splat operator with the array constructor here (transposing to save space)
julia> a = ([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]) ([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]) julia> [a...]' 1x9 Array{Int64,2}: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
