I think that point is that Euphoria folklore states that Rob C wanted only "while" loops in Euphoria in very early versions. That was certainly prior to Euphoria 1.4 when I started using it. Very few people wanted the language to be that minimalist though, and lobbied for including "for" loops.

cf., Google's Go language has only "for" loops, although they are still very flexible. 

-- canonically 
integer i = 1 
while i <= 10 do 
  -- Do Stuff 
  ? i 
  i = i+1 
end while
