I find it a bit strange to list Uwe Schoening as the sole "inventor" of LOOP programs, especially because the first book from him which mentions this is from 2001. Albert Meyer and Dennis Ritchie wrote a paper on Loop programs, "The complexity of loop programs" in 1967 and used pretty much exactly the syntax that Schoening does in his book. 2001:620:8:3E82:8000:0:0:13D4 (talk) 14:36, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
