I'll bet a choklate bar that 100% of all developers who spent 6 year using Haskell knows what a for-loop is.

"for" is not that complicated, it's just mapM with its arguments pre-flipped: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.12.0.0/docs/Contro...

I don't know why you want to call that a "loop", but, sure, you do you, you crazy imperative programmers.

Because it is a loop in any sane language ... you overheaded functional programmers ..
