>Nobody implements their own loops anymore. It’s funny how this is true in several ways: * Nobody needs to manually move the stack pointer anymore to implement a loop at the lowest level * Iverson ghosts [0] let us operate on arrays without explicit loop constructs, e.g. array.sum() in NumPy * Modern IDEs autocomplete loop syntax I’m sure there are many other examples I’m missing. All of these are examples of automation of programmers’ work, even if we often don’t think of them that way (especially #1 and #2: higher-level languages/syntax) [0] https://dev.to/bakerjd99/numpy-another-iverson-ghost-9mc https://dev.to/bakerjd99/numpy-another-iverson-ghost-9mc
