No, your language limitations don't have to force the rest of the world to accept them.

As I alreay said, some languages use the simpler construct:

For i=1 to N

And C could easily use:

for(i=1;i==n;i++)

just by changing the way the loop condition works.

So as you say, it is all about the language.




No way I would trust a language design with your semantics for this syntactic construct: for(i=1;i==n;i++)
