- dnh44 7y agoThe comment only makes sense if you are aware of the English language idiom "shooting yourself in the foot" which means to accidentally hurt yourself. So the comment is saying that while-loops are generally a feature of object oriented languages, which have many tools (they use the term "foot-gun as a joke) that make it easy to accidentally make mistakes, so writing your own while-loop in Elixir isn't as crazy as it might seem.
- np_tedious 7y agoSorry, my comment was dumb lazy sarcasm. The joke was more around class/OOP as I read it.
