I often experiment with different loop constructs to find the one most
pleasing to the eye. Working directly off iterators is quite rare but a
while-vs-for consideration is frequent. Also, should the stepping part
be in the beginning, middle or end of the loop body?

It takes time to acclimatize to a new programming language. Initially,
you tend to shun odd-looking constructs like comprehensions. Then, you
might overdo constructs like lambdas and maps. Eventually, you'll find a
style the suits both you and the language.
