However, I'm sure we have all run into situations in which it was tempting to use a while ( true ), but is it bad form? <B>[[User:Tisane|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#008000;">Tisane</fontspan>]]</B> ^{[[User talk:Tisane|talk]]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Tisane|stalk]]} 15:33, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

:the rule is that every loop terminates, and when you pretend it doesn't like that, it makes the code harder to read. The example you gave is trivial, and all programming readability conventions can be ignored for trivial cases.

Maybe we could include it, but IDK what section. Thanks! [[Special:Contributions/68.173.113.106|68.173.113.106]] ([[User talk:68.173.113.106|talk]]) 21:46, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

== Infinite loops should be added somewhere ==

Someone should link this to an actual infinite loop (like the endless to infinite loop infinite loop mentioned earlier).

== Wow, where's JS? ==

Nice. Got stuck in many loops. But, why put examples in archaic langauges? Also, JS is now a prominent language. Can you add JS examples?
