Your desire for your insolence to be noted is granted, but to answer the non-strawman form of your question: yes, there is a way to prevent infinite loops from making their way into software in the field. It means providing proofs that your loops terminate. (If you can't show this, your code has to be rewritten into something that you can come up with a proof for.) As I already said, this is mandatory in some industries. The philosophy is also not far off from the rationale for Rust's language design re memory management. And although it might seem like it requires it, there's no need for magic. This is something covered in any ("every"?) decent software engineering program.
