It takes more time to read & understand this code than to write it, therefore it's discouraged in many linter rules. I am personally not a fan of it.

It used to be that you would always see foo++ to increment. But that foreach has replaced most of the for loops, it is much more rare that you need to increment a value. And therefore foo = foo + 1 is now much more common than it is used to be. More verbose but also less clever.
