Re: The fate of Euphoria
I no professional programmer, and I've only been using euphoria for
like 4 years, so I asked a few people (professional programmers) what
goto is(was) for. They said it's good for source code protection, ie.
by putting in a bunch of GOTOs it is nearly impossible to see what the
real code does.
So is that why you want GOTO, to make euphoria unreadable?

PS CASE is very good, better than a bunch of elsifs.
