pew pew rainbows an shit fuck yea

It's not just a little faster to use the for loop - it's orders of magnitude faster. Why adopt an abstraction that reduces performance of a code segment by upwards of 80% (tested 86% slower on my desktop, 84% slower on iPad gen 5).

Like why adopt inefficient design patterns in the first place?
