You mean something like Ada?

while true loop
    if false then
        --whatever
    else
        --ditto
    end if;
end loop;


(although functions/procedures are terminated using `end
<functionname>;` as well)

Extra feature: inherent concurrency support. I don't know about classes
or generics, those will probably be in an newer standard. But who needs
those?
