Darn it! I loved cl-loop :-) I’ll curb my use of cl-loop in Emacs codebase.
As a data point, some of us are, like you, highly appreciative of cl-loop, and cannot see anything remotely approaching its versatility in other programming languages. I don't know what its detractors recommend for iterating over a plist, to give just one example.
