A good try from a JS perspective however:

1) view is immutable in both cases

2) GGP is returning in a void block so both sets of code will fail

3) there is really no difference except iteration vs function calls as far as I can tell, you can iterate arrays and use higher order functions built into arrays... which seems normal

4) you can only access the index in (1) by calling .enumerated() I suppose.

I think the difference OP is pointing out is that the return behaves differently. In the forEach, the return exits the closure, but in for-in, it returns from the enclosing function.

yes, this

First, to make arguments that rely on syntax, one must use correct syntax. If OP’s syntax were valid, that return in the for-in would indeed exit the closure.

To address this argument: the fact that a ‘return’ within a loop exits the enclosing function and a return from within a closure exits the closure is not a Swift problem.
