It seems he wrote far more on "interesting ways Python does things" than he did on more general insights into reviewing code. Also, Java does the exact same foreach loop he says it doesn't:

for (Object o : Collection<Object>) //do stuff with o }

Isn't that for statement syntax a relatively new addition to Java?

Besides which, he specifically prefaces the section discussing for loops with "For folks coming from C."

"for folks coming from C" sounds like an interesting syntax proposal... ;-)

Java 5, so, about 12 years old at this point. It's no ANSI C, but it's past the point where anybody should be pretending that it's some bleeding edge technology they can't justify in their Real Grown-up systems.

And long since EOL. Any non-horrifying deployment will be running Java 7 or 8.

Even though it is available since a long time, there are lots of programmers that learned the old way and continue using it today.
I still regularly have to regularly flag stuff like C89 un-scoped iteration counters in >= C99 code reviews despite this being standard since 17 years and available even longer in actual compilers.

Even longer in actual compilers....except for MSVC which finally started supporting C99 in 2012 and still doesn't have full support. So people who are used to cross platform development have learned to stick to C89 for a long time.

I don't think he says that Java does not have a "foreach" loop. Of course it does! Who does not? Even C++ have a foreach loop novadays!

What he says is that Python only have a foreach loop! It does not include a traditional C/Java for loop! And he's right, of course.
