The following code​:

loop (my $i = 0;;) { }
loop (my $i = 0;;) { }

Gives the following error​:
Potential difficulties​:
  Redeclaration of symbol $i
  at my-i.p6​:2
  ------> loop (my $i⏏ = 0;;) { }

Also, rakudo goes into a state where it hangs with 99% CPU usage.

Correction​: rakudo does not hang, I didn't add a condition to the loop.

Hi, thanks for reporting this! Scope works a little differently in Perl 6 than in Perl 5; variables declared via my in the init/condition/update portion of loop are not scoped to the block. See http://design.perl6.org/S04.html#The_Relationship_of_Blocks_and_Declarations for more information.

Indeed; not a bug.
