I can't help but notice that many of those who breathlessly exclaim that starting with GOTO will cause brain damage started with GOTO themselves.
I also notice that, "I did [x] and ended up fine" doesn't seem to consider the possibility of ending up better than fine without doing [x]. Still, I greet these arguments with suspicion and find them somewhat self-destructing.
- pugworthy 6y agoI sound like an old fart saying this but, "When I was a kid, GOTO is all we had AND WE LIKED IT!" The whole "don't use GOTO!" thing is really something that started cropping up when we started to get C and Pascal compilers, and it became something not as good to use. Before them, it was BASIC all the way baby, and we used GOTO because it worked for what we had.
