How To Do A For Loop In Elixir (using only recursion)

[eksperimental]

@Qqwy

I wonder, is using the Y-combinator cheating? I would actually suggest that it might be the ‘nicest’ solution, because it sort of does ‘meta’-recursion; calling a function with itself as argument, so the function can recurse if and when it wants to, without using explicit recursion. (For instance, this will even work when using anonymous functions).

I would love to see a solution like this.
