I really don't understand the complaint about `for` loops... is it just that you can implement the same functionality with a custom-made function? I don't reall

  I didn't understand his point either (and I know Kotlin pretty well), but since 1.1 for-loops are basically deprecated in user code and you'd use the forEach method on Iterables: collection.forEach { variable -> .... }

    Could you elaborate, why they are deprecated, is there any sources? Actually I'm always wondering which form of "for" I should use and I always using language "for" because, well, it's part of language. I actually think that "for" will be enhanced in the future, e.g. including guards, nested loops, maps, etc, like Scala's version (or Haskell).

  In general, people complaining about languages really should be showing the results of their examples. Since a lot of programmers are interested in languages, requiring knowledge of a language in such a blog post is hamstringing yourself by restricting your readership. Tell us what the result would be, precisely what line compiles and what throws an error.
