Working with certain data types can be cumbersome if the intention is to simply iterate over a list of values.
Currently, to iterate over a list of values or a map, you would need to use a while loop:
list a = [1, 2, 3] number i = 0 while (i < length(a)) { println(a[i]) }
Since iterating over a list is a common use case, I propose to add a foreach statement, that automatically loops over a lists/maps values.
foreach
The design could look like that:
list a = [1, 2, 3] foreach (number value in a) { println(value) }
and for maps with key-value-pairs:
map b = {"a": 1, "b": 2} foreach (string key: number value in b) { println(key, " -> ", value) }
