@eliocamp@mastodon.social I’m not saying they’re hard, but there’s no way it makes more intuitive sense as a logical structure for humans to read! Then again, I’ve read a couple of blog posts by university lecturers over the years saying that for loops are one of the hardest things for students to understand

@jimgar@hachyderm.io agreed. I think you need to understand for loops before understanding comprehension/lapply. But then, they are a better abstraction vs all the boilerplate of pre-assignment + for loop.
