Break infinite loop in node repl?

Question

Is there a way to break out of an infinite loop in the node.js REPL?

For example, running while (true) {} essentially hangs the REPL so intensely that no combination of Ctrl-D or Ctrl-C have any effect. The only thing I've found that works is to kill the node process or close the terminal window.

Seems like there should be a better way.

Answer 1

Yes you have to kill the process, you can use a process manager for that or Ctrl-C on the terminal window.
