I don't remember if it was a rejoinder to Dijkstra, but Knuth wrote "Structured Programming with go to Statements".

- Jtsummers 5y agoPartially a rejoinder, he goes back and forth between structured programming and go to statements considering both sides over the course of the paper. But even in that his conclusion boils down to: go to statements work well if disciplined, but if you have a structured programming construct that actually conveys your intent (by its name, in particular) then that's going to be better in most circumstances.
