I don't really understand Rust's `loop {}` syntax. It's syntactic sugar for `while true {}` but it feels odd to have special syntax for this case. The name `loop` also doesn't imply 'loop with no termination condition' to me (other than break/continue).

Which languages have the shortest/longest half-life? If you didn't write any code in language X for five years, how easily could you continue maintaining an old project?

Why did Daniel Stenberg create curl, release it for free, and continue maintaining it? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55884514/what-is-the-incentive-for-curl-to-release-the-library-for-free (Stack Overflow is big enough that they get answers from the maintainer himself!)
