ColdFUsion 2016 added new syntax to <cfloop>:
{code:java}
<cfloop array="#someArray#" index="i" item="element">
<cfloop array="#someArray#" item="element">
{code}
Similar syntax was added for files and lists:
{code:java}
<cfloop file="#someArray#" index="i" item="element">
<cfloop file="#someArray#" item="element">
<cfloop list="#someArray#" index="i" item="element">
<cfloop list="#someArray#" item="element">
{code}
This is a reasonable start, but I think it warrants further fine-tuning:
{code:java}
<cfloop collection="#collection#" index="k" element="element">
{code}
Where collection can be anything iterable, eg:
array
struct
list
query
file (file object, not path)
[perhaps anything else which implements an Iterable interface]
This would help keep the language more predictable.
At the same time, all the other looping constructs should be deprecated.
