Doesn't it bother you that your language requires more typing
and defining dummy variables just for doing something N times?
Note, I'm just trying to point out that small improvements in
the programmers life will be thanked a lot and more people will
join your language.
If you give me complete requirements, proper planning, effective
communication, automated testing, fast compilation and a proper
chair, I will program anything in the most horrid language you
can think of.
