While I'm meant to be doing other things, I just took five minutes to propose a random idea I had to remove `while` as a keyword from Scala. https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/issues/5440 … Someone tell me if I'm barking up the wrong control structure...
-
My main use case for while in scala is to save on object allocation. Will this be less of a problem in dotty?
Yes, though note that I'm not proposing anything which would require changes to anyone's existing code.

Yep but could make existing code slower if the internal part of the while loop is saying doing a few million loops?

I hope that it would have the same performance as a real while loop in Dotty.
