alt Hacker NewsThe problem with coming up with a rule that works for everyone is that everyone have a different idea of what makes a good abstraction.
Do you want to iterate using for loop or using .iter().step(2).map()?
I would rather have consistency than a mixed bag of levels of abstractions.

I don’t think it matters, specially for sort sized loop scopes

This isn't really a good example, assuming both can be used to represent the same thing.
The problem with the wrong abstraction is when your abstraction doesn't let you represent something. Then, because of you've already invested so heavily into it, you start contorting the problem to fit your abstraction and it becomes a shit show.
