May 21, 2023 at 14:19	comment	added	prosfilaes		Ada has loop ... end loop, in part because of exit (C/Rust break)/return statements and in part because of a need to loop infinitely in some low-level programs.

May 19, 2023 at 17:23	comment	added	cocomac		Although it isn't necessarily good practice, note that this can also be replicated in C (and some other languages), such as with `#define forever while (1)` and then you can just do `forever { ... }`
