I generally just use for loops but I’m in the pocket of Big Ignorance.

  Elixir doesn't have for loops

    for x <- 1..10 do IO.puts x end Isn't that a for loop?
    • Munksgaard 3y ago
      In Elixir that is a called a comprehension, just like the blog post is discussing.

      Similar, but different in subtle ways when you get beyond the toy example posted here...particularly that it's always iterating a collection, vs being able to just arbitrarily loop based on arbitrary conditions..where you'd be able to easily break out of it, modify a mutable collection within it etc https://dev.to/brewinstallbuzzwords/does-elixir-have-for-loops-19p9 https://dev.to/brewinstallbuzzwords/does-elixir-have-for-loo...
