>When is the last time you used a GOTO in code? Just yesterday in fact, while implementing a state machine. Except the developers of that particular language explicitly did away with GOTO, so I ended up approximating it with a SWITCH/CASE. At least the language supports fall-through... Which is to say, people differ in judgements of various features (footguns vs swiss army knifes). Moreover, the judgements seem to oscillate as fashions, in ~10 year long cycles. Please recall how exceptions and templates used to be a hot thing back in the day. Ditto garbage collectors. Presently we're all in love with Rust, and the "JITs considered harmful" paper will drop any day now.
