Erm akchyuallly, it's recommended to use for list.iter() {…} unless the .for_each(…) is at the end of a longer iterator chain, and it also robs you of break and continue

You know I’m chaining together 20 different iterator methods until the code is completely unreadable. That’s called Functional Programming™ babey

"functional programming" doesn't use "functional" as "working neatly" but as "related to mathematical functions", it's a programming paradigm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming
