But, all of this ignores one basic truth of code: ALL LOOPS END!

Quote:

Because no device with embedded code will last forever. So you could include some sort of "while (this device is not being decomposed into its constituents for recycling purposes) {...}". The question is how the device can perform this test, and take the proper actions to terminate the loop.

while (!shutting_down()) {}

Most embedded systems still have a "power" switch, which is not hard-wired to the power, but instead, starts the "power-down" procedure

READY.
10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
RUN

while (true)
{
    new Thread(() => 
    {
        // Some code here
    }).Start();
}

while (true)
{
    Task.Factory.StartNew(() => {
        // Some code here
    });
}

while(true) {
   new Thread(()=> { while(true); }).Start();
