Apple's goto-related SSL vulnerability this week is a blatant, high-profile reminder of how harmful unbraced conditionals are. The same bug could have happened with two return statements in a row.

I'm really thankful Rust does away with them. Static analysis can catch these things, but it should be prevented in the grammar from the start.

Amen. Replace the "goto" with "Throw", "break", or "return", or any other construct, and you'd come up with the same problem.
