You mean something like Ada?
while true loop
if false then
--whatever
else
--ditto
end if;
end loop;
(although functions/procedures are terminated using `end
<functionname>;` as well)
Extra feature: inherent concurrency support. I don't know about classes
or generics, those will probably be in an newer standard. But who needs
those?
