Elixir doesn't have for loops

    for x <- 1..10 do
      IO.puts x
    end

Isn't that a for loop?

In Elixir that is a called a comprehension, just like the blog post is discussing.

Similar, but different in subtle ways when you get beyond the toy example posted here...particularly that it's always iterating a collection, vs being able to just arbitrarily loop based on arbitrary conditions..where you'd be able to easily break out of it, modify a mutable collection within it etc
