And probably the aversion to loop facility…
1 comments

Well to be fair I already had that aversion, though I will use that on occasion.

Ironically enough I am an aficionado of the Waters series facility [1], which requires one to write Loop definitions for certain constructs (like defining new producing forms), so my efforts to avoid using Loop led to me using it.

I think Loop doesn't deserve the hate it gets. I don't particularly like it, but I don't dislike it that much.

Shameless plug:

I got SERIES to work with parenscript. Way better than expected.
