I’ve been slowly learning Rust, and this style is my main gripe against it, because I feel like I’m being gaslit. Its proponents praise its readability and ease of use, and just… no. It looks deranged. A simple loop is immediately obvious to anyone who’s programmed in any language. Even Python’s list comprehensions are loop-ish.
.len doesn't work on a list (because it might mislead you about the efficiency of the operation if it did exist), so it's better to use iterators - so then you can change the underlying type without changing your code.
But then, saying while "let Some(item) = iter.next()" everytime is tedious, so they give you .iter() - for any type that is efficiently iterable.
Nothing stopping you using a manual loop that you need to update if you change the container type.
