Come on, folks. It's a culture thing. If your loop body is 20 lines, fits trivially on a single editor window, and starts with a declaration of a counter named "w" (for "worker", or "width" or whatever obvious thing it's referencing), that's Just Fine. No reasonable reader is going to have trouble with that, and you know it. Decades and decades of extremely maintainable[1] code has been written in that style. Aesthetics are just aesthetics. Write to the style of the project you're maintaining, and just let the argumentation go.

[1] And more to the point: extremely maintained. You're really going to put the code quality of your Java WhateverFactoryListenerRepository class, that will probably be rewritten by some new hire in 2025, down against a Linux kernel file that has been under continuous improvement since 1997? Because of variable names?
