Rust: Think Iterator, Not Index Loop. Index loops are a C++ habit — Writing index-based for loops in Rust is a habit you carried over from C or C plus plus. Time to break it. Index loops in Rust are verbose. You manage the counter manually. And one off-by-one bug hides in every loop you write. Iterators solve this. They compose. They chain. And the optimizer fuses them into a single tight loop. No overhead.
