I like Rust's "loop". :3 I'm not sure of the exact stats, but a
ton of my non-D loops are infinite, with or without breaks, like
with lockless queues in concurrency (poll elements until null)
and in network code (loop until crash).
Despite the shorter notation with for (;;), all of them are while
(true). Probably code ocd.

then you're bad at math.
Imagine each infinite loop requiring a unique equation, where the
right and left sides must be different before evaluation. Now you
can yell at people for not getting that, I dunno, some complex
expression is 42 or -1 or whatever.
