Thank you. For clarity, here would be the GP example: Foo foo = acquireFoo() defer releaseFoo(foo) if !isValid(foo) { return FAIL } moreWork(foo) return SUCCESS That is impressively clear. I don't use go, myself. I agree, I am quite comfortable using goto in C/C++ in this context. Though it may be better in C++ to use RAII in this specific example.
