I think I'm -0.5 but I have a question for the people on here smarter than
me (pretty much all):
Is there some opportunity for some kind of compiler magic when the iterable
of a for loop is fully contained in a place easily findable by the
compiler, and not spread over multiple if and for statements?
I am imagining that something like this could be magically "looked into"
and made more efficient in some way, maybe by JIT complier or something:
for x for y in range(11, 100, 3) if (y % 10) for x in range(y):
frob(x)
compared to this:
for y in range(11, 100, 3):
if (y % 10);
for x in range(y):
frob(x)
Am I instilling too much faith in the power of the complier on this Ash
Wednesday morning? ;)
