Shedarshian made an esolang with multiple types of loop https://github.com/Shedarshian/chiharu/blob/0399aa4aa83d09b546755197bd8983108e836de0/chiharu/plugins/mbf.py
[: while pop()
]: end while
{: until pop()
}: end until
.123: push(123)
=: push(pop()==pop())
!: push(!pop())

and allow something like [.100={]}
Any other lang do so?

lyxal

Do you mean the mixed closing brackets?

If so, Vyxal 2 did that sort of thing for a while

Try it Online!

That changed a while later though

Doesn't work in modern v2 nor v3

Well, doesn't do nothing to be more accurate

mousetail

If you wanted a second loop, I think do {} while() would probably be more useful than until {} (idk though)

l4m2

{} should intended to be sugar of ![ !] but unexpectedly do some break

@mousetail For such a lang, do {} while is .1[ ], reasonably readable.

I guess for stack based language the difference isn't really that significant

I'm going to use pseudocode for my examples for clarity but I once modified a language with only counted loops to have a do {} construct where you could put a while clause before and/or after the body, or not at all for an infinite loop

Q: Can you beat numpy convolve?

The task is to compute the convolution of an array with itself as quickly as possible. The array will contain 80-bit extended precision long doubles and I will specify how the array is to be created. In order to get a good range, the values will be sampled on a log scale and then scaled back up ...
