@icedquinn every loop is a while(true) loop with extra steps
understatement = CW?
@Archivist understatement?
What if we move to functional programming and forget about mutable loops at all?
understatement = CW?
@worldsendless well, for optimization purposes, there are only infinite loops except sometimes
Also, well I use languages without actual loops a lot (or where you are discouraged to use loops because only two flavours exist: infinite and while loops)
I prefer recursion or abstracted loops when the language have them
But hey when I do Elixir I don't have to question which loop to use

@Archivist How does Elixir do it?
understatement = CW?
@worldsendless recursion, recursion everywhere, except when you make an actor handle the job in which case you just relegate the recursion to someone else 
understatement = CW?
@Archivist Sounds like it has the kind of clean TCO that Java (Clojure) lacks, which slows down writing recursion just a enough to make room for list comprehension
