The article cites Dijkstra's "considered harmful" essay, which asserts that "goto" should be removed from "higher level" languages, not "machine language". Without reading the remainder of the article, this would seem to undermine any further assertions. UPDATE: after reading the article, it seems the opposite is being shown. my bad.
