> It's not a number's place to know how to do looping If we consider a number as "zero or 1 plus a number", then the "Number" class could very well be the one that knows how to execute a piece of code a number times given that representation. It's actually pretty similar to the Church encoding of numbers in the lambda calculus[1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_encoding |
