gollark: Oh, I'm just comparing `for` for all loops versus actually using separate keywords for semantically different things.
gollark: What's easier to read?
gollark: Go making all loops `for` (WHY DOES IT DO THAT) doesn't make it much simpler, since you still have to *know* all the weird ways to use it and so does the compiler.
gollark: I mean, that's not a thing of *keywords*, just of... more language features, really.
gollark: More keywords → more complexity in the language/parsing/whatever, more stuff programmers have to know.
