R isn't my favorite language, but it drives me crazy that I cant do var++

Not supported in Scala, haskell, or Erlang either

Why do you need to do ++
It has been quite a while since I needed to increment a variable

#fp

@rusty-hacker I do it for counters all the time.

@rusty-hacker Yeah, counters. var = var + 1 is so sloppy

@flag0 @FelisPhasma I see what you mean. What I was pointing out is that in almost all cases where I need a counter, it is to iterate over an array to find specific elments or sum values. In all those cases map/filter/reduce seem to solve my issue :)

@FelisPhasma well, honestly thinking you could do var +=1 but ++ feels more elegant.
