I just realized that you said "are those that have some logic bug" rather than "are those that due to a logic bug loop forever" and also mentioned that this is true for the "vast majority of programs" in which case.. sure? If anything this is an argument that supports timeouts and can happen in both turing-complete and non-turing complete languages, plus I do not understand how popularity has anything to do with it.

Or I am getting a working auto-complete for code that does not make the completion system to get killed by the timeout.

> Hell, if you can't even compile the project

I never mentioned not being able to compile the project.
