Re: GOTO - A fresh perspective?
Kat is right, Eu would be better and could become more popular with a GOTO.
Btw. popularity is something that could be greatly improved by making it
more accessable for beginners, f.i. after install people want to see an easy
and friendly user interface. And clear examples ("for dummies") for
everything, from a simple "hello world" to creating and accessing DLL's.
