I should say, you are wrong, the professional programmers use loops allways when is possible, and the -while- where is it suitable. This is the answer, there is several types of loops and every is suitable for some type of algorytmus..

Use a generator. It's like splitting an instantaneous function into pieces [with state retention] so you can watch it run, without all the mucking about running out of memory.

Infinite loops can make your entire program run slowly, because they are constant. There are other reasons, but that one seems to be the most likely solution.
