intentionwhile
Intentionwhile is a term used in discussions of intention-aware programming to describe a prospective control-flow construct that ties the continuation of a loop to an active intention signal. The concept aims to align a program’s behavior with the goals or planned actions of a user or system, rather than relying solely on static boolean conditions.
Semantics and usage vary, but the core idea is that a loop continues while an intention-detection mechanism
Implementation of intentionwhile is not standardized and appears mainly in experimental languages, research prototypes, or discussions
Applications for intentionwhile include intention-aware user interfaces, assistive technologies, robotics, and scenarios where program progress should
