By guaranteed optimisations talk, are you referring to this blog post by Robert O'Callahan: https://robert.ocallahan.org/2020/08/what-is-minimal-set-of-...?

https://www.pyret.org/ does it like this:

  for each(str from [list: "Ahoy", "world!"]):
    print(str)
  end

  for map(n from [list: 1,2,3]): n * n end
  # ==> [list: 1, 4, 9]

  for filter(n from [list: 1, 2, 3]):
    n >= 2
  end
  # ==> [list: 2, 3]

  for fold(sum from 0, n from [list: 4, 5, 6]):
    sum + n
  end
  # ==> 15

Is there any proof whatsoever for this? I'm extremely skeptical because the first post Usenet post warns that you'd be sentenced to death if you were in possession of information about Kvikkalkul.

Sweden hasn't practiced capital punishment since 1910.
