IMO, you should move as much code into the js engine, and using js looping constructs does not do that. Also, for loops are...not as simple as you might have thought...they have been completely screwed up by the people who decide what JS/ES is:

Before, they used to be one of the simplest and most elementary ways to loop.
In JavaScript, now, I never use them. Frankly, these days, there's always something better.

Why couldn't they just do this:

// for( a; b, c ) { d }
{
  a;
  while (b) {
    d;
    c;
  }
}

Assuming I got that correct - you get the idea anyway.
