I believe Crockford said in a talk [1] that he was going to stop writing loops when tail-call elimination is supported everywhere.
Also, avoiding the for loop in JS might be a good idea because of how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot with "for (x in stuff) ..." creating a global variable (when you accidentally leave out "var").
