Takes 1 more character, that's bloat.

Thanks, i hate it
this is incredibly cursed. i love it.
I saw while(i --> 0)
in someone else's code and thought wth is this -->
operator? Then I realized it's while(i-- > 0)
and thought cool, I gotta do this!
Isn't the evaluated value different from the expression? i++
returns the value of i before increasing. i-=-1
would return the value after it has been increased. Wouldn't it be more correct to make it equal to ++i
And that's why post- and pre-increment is non-existant in Python and Rust. It's an easy source for bugs for a noncritical abbreviation🤷
They're especially also a source of bugs, because they encourage manually incrementing indices and manually accessing array positions, which is almost never actually sensible.
