That's me. But I must admit that I prefer Cholula Hot Sauce.

In addition to the imperative `foreach` construct, Flix has two constructs for applicative[1] and monadic[2] comprehensions: `forA` and `forM`. Since applicatives and monads are related, it is useful that their syntax is similar, since it makes it easy to switch between the two. While having camelCase keywords may seem strange, in this case there is a feeling that it works out well. Certainly, `form` or `fora` would be much worse.

Applicative and monadic programming is not a big part of Flix, but it is something we want to support and make ergonomic. Also, these features may have scary names, but the concepts are not too difficult. See [1] and [2] for simple examples of how these features can be used for e.g. error handling.
