On a separate note

I am alive, i've just been more introspective for the past couple of weeks. I'm trying to work through some stuff, make some decisions, and am finding myself stuck in a bit of a mental loop. Where is a break statement when you need one?

Curse the software developers who claim good practice doesn't allow for termination of a loop except through the condition itself. ;)

Piffle, good practice as often as not means "The way I do things". Besides, I've dealt with enough clugey languages where the only real means of terminating a loop is through a break statement that I generally am not able to worry to much about best practices.

In a perfect world where there were no custom proprietary languages nor programmers who only change syntactic rules when they move from a legacy language, that would probably be excellent advice. In the meanwhile, I'll keep the break statement, cause sometimes, that's the only thing that works.
