Do something x number of times

(where x is an integer >= 0)

Is there a one-liner for this?

I found that Enum.times was deprecated back in in 2012:
https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/619

But it seems that ranges aren’t a proper replacement, since they don’t work for the case where x == 0.

Ranges work fine with 0.

Enum.each(0..x, fn i -> do_something(i) end)

If you mean the specific case of 0..0, it can be dealt with like this

Enum.each(0..x, fn
  0 -> :nothing
  _ -> do_something()
end)
