I don't think his advice is to use recursion instead of loops. I 
believe the point was that raw loops can usually be replaced by 
something more generic (e.g. std::find, std::rotate, 
std::transform, etc.). The loop is just an implementation detail 
of a more high-level algorithm. Within those algorithms, it's ok 
to use loops.
