Re: goto considered essential
How about a goto that only jumps down in the code, not back up to repeat.
Use loops to repeat: while or for loop.
But goto that jumps forward is good enough for Tom's example, but
prohibits spagetti code quite a bit.
Or have a jumpback command and a jumpforward command
to make the code easier to read and find where you
are going.
I personally like gotos because a really
smart guy whose code I used to read in C would only
return from a function at the end of it with
"return retval" usually, and he would jump to egress:,
which was a label prior to the end of a function.
Egress means to exit, so that's what he called it.
So that way you don't have two or more return statements
in one function. He set the retval and did "goto egress".
Anyhow, a jump forward and jump back would be nice for me, but
I can stand the exit_loop statement, whatever it is, I just learned
Euphoria three days ago.
