Oh and languages without decent for-each loops are garbage. 😛

like range clauses? yeah, i can't live without those, if you look at most go code the most common two uses for for loops are iterating arrays/maps and forever loops for event handlers with signal channels to break out, or timeouts
I’m not super familiar with ranges as I don’t program in any languages that lean into it. I can give a C# example though.
Say I have a list of strings (List
foreach (var coworker in myCoworkers)
{
Console.WriteLine(coworker);
}
Does that make sense? No need for an index.
PHP is like
$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
foreach ($arr as &$value) {
$value = $value * 2;
}
Honestly I’m falling in love with PHP. I might cheat on Blazor with it for a while.
its array handling syntax is nice, i also really liked it back in the day... 2003... though its competitor was ASP/VBScript which was ugly as sin
