I would like to use the function `insert' so that it wraps at expected
`fill-column' is that possible?
(let ((count 0)
(fill-column 1))
(while (< count 100)
(insert "hello ")
(setq count (1+ count))))

No. 'insert' just inserts the text in the buffer.
What you need is call fill-region or fill-region-as-paragraph after
the insertion.

Aha, that is it.
I was using this:
(when (> (current-column) 70) (insert "\n")))))
