That is the advice one of my college professors told us when he was teaching us APL. APL was designed to perform vector and matrix operations. Programming in APL is an exercise in stringing operators together to perform strange and wonderful things. Using a loop is just wrong and slows things down.

APL is mentioned so props must be given, I wonder about speed though, that will be the deciding factor for me personally, does a loop or a LINQ query do it faster.
