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")))))
