When the iterations of the loops can occur in parallel, write an expression that expands the data into a sequence of publications, and use a sequential operator to do something for each publication. This is the strategy that uses functions like each, repeat, and upto.

When the iterations of the loops must occur in sequence, write a tail recursive function that iterates over the data. Any loop can be rewritten as a tail recursion. Typically the data of interest is in a list, so one of the standard list functions, such as foldl, applies. The library also defines a function while, which handles many of the common use cases of while loops.
