function inside function or while loop (javascript)

Question

This has been bothering me for some time. I have some code that is in a function. After so many seconds the function repeats itself. I do this by calling the same function. I've had one person on this site called it "fugly logic". An example of what I am doing is

  function myFunction(): IEnumerator {
         //some code
         yield WaitForSeconds(3)
         myFunction()
     }

Is their any performance issues with doing this. I know their are more official ways of repeating things but I don't see any problem with this. Although another person suggested that I should do

 while (true) {
 function myFunction(): IEnumerator {
     //some code
     yield WaitForSeconds(3)
 }

Would this or the first one be better? Or is their something totally different that would be worth changing my code to it?

Ok that suggested way of doing it - do not do it like that. Unity Javascript isn't real Javascript and that stuff doesn't play well. But yes, you should probably do it as a while loop formatted like this:

    function myFunction() : IEnumerator {
           while(true) {
                 //some code
                 yield WaitForSeconds(3);
           }
    }
