Of course. I was a bit hasty there...

Sequence comprehensions in Cryptol are pretty cool:

Rounds (State, (initialKey, rndKeys, finalKey)) = final
  where {
    istate = State ^ initialKey;
    rnds = [istate] # [| Round (state, key)
                       | | state < - rnds
                       | | key < - rndKeys | ];
    final = FinalRound (last rnds, finalKey);
  };

"The value rnds is defined as a recursive sequence.  The first element
of the sequence
is the value of istate.  The second element is the result of applying the Round
function on the first element of the rnds sequence (i.e. istate) and
the first element
of the rndKeys sequence.  The third element of rnds is the result of
applying the
Round function on the second element of rnds (which is the result of
the previous
iteration) and the second element of rndKeys.  This pattern continues until we
exhaust rndKeys, at which point the sequence rnds is complete and its
last element
is the result of iterating the Round function once for each element of rndKeys."

There - both recursive and parallel list comprehensions.  ;-)
