Fair enough. BTW, between this and your response about Nutella, you've given one of the most pleasant argument conclusions I've witnessed on this forum. Edit:

Fair enough. BTW, between this and your response about Nutella, you've given one of the most pleasant argument conclusions I've witnessed on this forum.
Edit: I can't resist adding that some languages enforce that every line is numbered/labeled and therefore GOTO can target anything. So there's a bit of quibble room when saying coroutines are equivalent.
- carapace 10y agoCheers! That's very gratifying. I try not to be too egomaniacal. :-) I know what you mean (I used BASIC on a Commodore-64 back in the day.) In the general sense I'm complaining about (hoping to draw attention to) the "foot-gun" aspects of all this, rather that quibble about the details. I wish I could remember and write up the original insight I had that convinced me that coroutines are the same "evil" as goto statements, or find somebody who has written it up. I can remember being convinced, but not the line of argument that convinced me. (Which makes me a little nervous about being so adamant about it here, but what the heck, YOLO.)
