I presume, until nil would be until script == nil?

until nil==true Since nil will never be equal to true, the loop is non-terminating.

Conditional statements check if the condition is true. 'until nil' is a conditional statement, and is the same as saying 'until nil==true' Since nil can never equal true (as nil is nonexistent), the loop will continue infinitely. The same applies to repeat until false Make sure you yield in your non-terminating loop, else it will crash.

Conditional statements actually check if the condition is not false and not nil. Since it is nil, it obviously doesn't meet the requirements. So doing things like == true ~= nil ~= false == false == nil ~= true is redundant, so you don't need to use them. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Writing_Clean_Code
