In Ruby it feels more natural though. I mean, one has to love code like this: <code> 10.times do # code goes here end </code> A for loop can never communicate intention better than that.

10.times do

That'll be interesting. Thanks Michael!

It reminds me of a mix of Delphi, C#, C and I suppose C++.
