What?  No.  As I pointed out, it’s all just jumps to the machine.  You
can dress up the higher level concepts, but the machine loops by jumping
back to a previous instruction and stops looping by jumping to an
instruction that doesn’t.

How?  If the language was properly designed, a break from a loop should
have the same side effects regardless of where it is located.  Are you
saying JS is flawed in its implementation of break?

Do you have the same objection when it comes to the “continue”
statement, too?  What about an early “return” from a function?  What
about “do-while” loops?
