Recursion UDF

Q: Is there an approved way to loop/repeat FQL an arbitrary number of times? Or generate a set/array of arbitrary size to Foreach on?
A: You can play with UDF to achieve it. Here is a quick idea (using recursion, careful it's max 200 iterations).
Calling it would be something like this Call("Repeat", ["3", "AnotherFunctionName", 0]) .
It's really just an example, you can mess around it to add input values if needs be, etc.

const Repeat = Query(
  Lambda(
    ["times", "fn", "executed"],
    Let(
      {
        end: LTE(ToNumber(Var("times")), 1),
        remainingTimes: Subtract(ToNumber(Var("times")), 1),
        runQuery: Call(Var("fn")),
        executedTimes: Add(Var("executed"), 1)
      },
      If(
        Var("end"),
        { ok: true, executed: Var("executedTimes")},
        Call("Repeat", Var("remainingTimes"), Var("fn"), Var("executedTimes"))
      )
    )
  )
