This is such a biased view. Java doesn't have functions and you have to work around that (by treating your classes as namespaces). Python doesn't have a type system and you have to deal with that (by using your brain, I guess). Sometimes it fits language design ("religious dogma" in the eyes of some), sometimes it simply didn't get implemented. Loops in Haskell are pretty common, tho. Perhaps you meant concept like for loop and this doesn't really fit.
