I completely agree. Writing a loop with several useless variables in scope, increment operators, exploding computational complexity is for sure more difficult for a human to understand compared to declaring what your code ought to do in a concise and well understood way. The maximum clarity for humans is always the goal and bug-prone, verbose code is for sure not the way to go.
