It’s not like we said C-style for loops are evil or anything, just that they weren’t right for Swift. If it turns out that something which otherwise <i class="">is</i> right for Swift can be “abused” to get C-style for loop semantics, then those who voted against SE-0007 are free to try out this new syntax and see if that helps them. IMHO, anyway.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>- Dave Sweeris</div></body></html>
