Do you like the LOOP macro?

The LOOP macro is one of the few contributions of Interlisp to Common Lisp. I personally really like it. A very nice declarative language for sequential iteration.

I think Iterate is nicer (for example, to find something), but I am using LOOP for now because I want to master it before I move onto Iterate.

It's okay I guess

I'm really a lot more interested in olin shivers loop macro

Guy missed the point entirely. No where do I see him talking about DWIM or ideas on the level of programmer's assistant. LOOP is in the tradition of Teitelman and man machine symbiosis, not in the petty minutae of career technicians.

They stole (sorry, ``borrowed'') it from JavaScript, the world's finest functional language.

That reads like a horror story.

Just use call-with-exit, and you get to keep your sanity:

Did you just use "guy" to refer to a random person while talking about Lisp? That's fucked up.

unscientific and ultimately destructive
