The event loop is brilliant example for how much `loop` is a full blown iteration DSL... love it or hate it ;)

Why loop when you can https://iterate.common-lisp.dev/ instead? No s-expr-less alien syntax, no need for `do` to switch to back to Lisp syntax, normal `if`/`when` without the ugly `else`/`end` and generally useful features added.

Have they fixed the problem in Iterate yet where it breaks any uses of the built-in count function?

Sadly no. Biggest bug in there, "fortunately". Easy to patch, though.
