One (minor) annoyance with forEach/map, etc. is that the enumeration
"can't" be stopped until all elements have been traversed which doesn't
suit every use case. One hack to stop the enumeration is to throw an
error but that requires to wrap the .forEach call in a try/catch block
which is annoying too for code readability.
The iterator protocol defines the StopIteration value. What about
reusing this value in the context of array extras?
Using exceptions for normal flow control seems like a bad idea to me.
I could not agree more. But JavaScript is what it is. Iterators are
going to use throw StopIteration [1] too.
It's been discussed recently [2]. There could be slightly more radical
ideas like the "endframe" thing I'm describing in the post, but I have
no hope that such an idea would be considered seriously, that's why I
haven't proposed it and only shared it as food for thought.
You are barking up the wrong tree, again (same tree!).
This whole thread is a red herring. If you want some or every and not
forEach, they are there -- use them. No exception required.
