I never had a issue with loops. If I feel something is off, I terminate, check code, and fix it.

I only used LLM-generated code once. I tested and made modifications to see if it was I want. It worked out.

Eh, I rather write code by hand no matter how long it takes.

Yeah. repeat() is unique to a few language. I think just Scala, and G’MIC has it. I use the second one. It’s more convenient than say for(p=0,p<5,++p,);. Sometimes, repeat(5,); suffice.

I actually use repeat(iterations,index_name(optionall),);. No need for i++ or ++i for loop in many cases.

I had this problem only once. Luckily, I do not need recursion. I know my way using iterative process.

As always, I do image processing. I’m a G’MIC filter developer. Recently, did some code changes to my combinatorics tools to be insensitive to multi-threaded strategy.
