Not true due to parallelism. Also, SQL demonstrates that you can describe the desired result declaratively without being concerned about iteration order. I see SQL's CTEs as a good example of the kind of primitive the article is talkin

Trees aren't really a "special case". Sequences, trees and graphs are core abstractions to most programming, why try to flatten all trees and graphs to sequences?

This question seems backwards. Any expression is free speech by default unless explicitly ruled otherwise. The burden is on people wanting this ruled out to argue it isn't free speech.

Using a different type vs. a different syntax can be an important usability consideration, particularly since D also has templates and other features, where Zig provides only the comptime type for all of them. Homogeneity can also be a nice
