Then tell me, could the same effect be achieved by an endless while loop ?
If so then I can use neither recursion nor while loops in CGI scripts out
of fear that a random bug would cause it to crash when somebody tried it
in the middle of the night.
This would be somewhat restrictive, which would defeat the object of using
Euphoria in the first place.
