gollark: Idea: warn for defining variables, as this is not good FP practice.
gollark: ```macronloop "while a is even" (a, b) { a //= b}```
gollark: What if *smart loops*, where you just give it a natural language description and a list of the variables to use, and it generates a machine learning model to use as a condition?
gollark: ```macronloop { if macron then implode() macron}```
gollark: Just put them in the metapresemilude.
