Can’t we have a tight loop in any language? What’s special about C here?

Tight loops in higher-level languages generally always have yield points/opportunities to break provided by the runtime, even if the loop itself doesn't appear to have any.

The fact that I was responding to someone asking what a tight *C* loop is, nothing more.
