What could be more idiomatic than:

for (int i=0; i<10; i++) { printf(”%d\n”, i); }

(Or the very similar Go equivalent)

If you having a hard time parsing that, due to the short variable name, i.e. if it’s a huge cognitive load for you, I suggest you switch career, b/c the IT industry is obviously not a good fit.

With that said, Go is explicit with suggesting short variable names for small scopes, and long variable names for bigger scopes. This a good practice in all languages.
