Would be even less cluttered if it allowed

    for minion in party {
      minion.jumpToTheLeft()
    }
Parens around a for clause when there's braces following are unnecessary.

It'd be less cluttered if "in" wasn't in there.

The shortest is Haskell's:

    forM_ party jumpToTheLeft
Assuming there is a 'party :: [ Minion ]' and 'jumpToTheLeft :: Minion -> IO Minion' in scope.
