Isn't the key word in that statement "unconstrained"? Goto is a tool like any other that can be abused.

Isn't the key word in that statement "unconstrained"? Goto is a tool like any other that can be abused.
- mytailorisrich 5y agoThat's why there is this rule to constrain it! It is pragmatic, practical, and clear to have a rule not to use it. This forces people to make the effort to structure their code. Now, if it so happens one day that the result is indeed worse than using goto then a conscious decision can be made to make a specific exception. Otherwise, this is the sort of thing that will creep up and cause unless discussions.
