Swift Evolution Community,
Currently writing an infinite loop in swift looks either something like
this:
while true {
if ... { break }
//...
}
Or this:
repeat {
if ... { break }
//...
} while true
But I think it might be best to change the syntax / behaviour of `repeat`
to loop
indefinitely if no trailing while clause is present:
repeat {
if ... { break }
//...
}
while still allowing a trailing `while` clause as in:
repeat {
foo += bar
} while foo.count < limit
I also want to propose that it should be a compile time error to use single
`Bool` constants as while loop conditions, so no more `while true { ... }`
it would become `repeat { ... }`
I was thinking of drafting a short proposal if there was enough positive
feedback.
How does it sound?
