I love the idea of changing the syntax around for loops, I just wonder if there was a cleaner way to do all of it, like optional parameters

I think it would be hard to avoid a lisp-like {{{ hell though

Seems like the same thing could be achieved cleanly with chainable results. My quick & dirty c# example.

  For.Loop(10, (i, @break) =>  
  {  
      Console.WriteLine(i);  
      @break();  
  })    
  .OnComplete((i) => Console.WriteLine("Done"))  
  .OnBreak((i) => Console.WriteLine("Break"));

A friend suggested this to me!

I felt having `.` on a loop would be weird because it isn't working on an object

A few people said they want single statements on conditionals. If `=>` (or `::` as someone else suggested) forced the statement to be on the same line would you be fine? I can imagine people wanting to use it on it's own line like people use else without braces which leads to bugs
