Mathematica is so powerful it can indeed look like pseudo code. That
snippet is however fully functional, if not functional in style. For
the latter you'd have something like,
Select[Range[3, 100], PrimeQ[2 #^3 + # + 2] &]
Here Select is like perl's grep, # like perl's $_ and & delimits the
end of an anonymous function.
Answers are {3, 5, 13, 23, 25, 29, 33, 43, 45, 49, 53, 59, 69, 73, 99}
in case anyone's wondering ;-)
