Yes, I agree that there are 2 separate lines of thinking on goto.
As I am not a systems programmer by any standards, writing my own language
with goto's is not possible for me. But yes, if I had a decision making
power regarding inclusion of goto in any language, I would have granted it.
Goto is just an item in my wish-list. I was not telling anybody to do
anything about it. I apologise if I have stepped on anybody's toes
unknowingly.
I would rather appreciate a practical programming language than a beautiful
one.
It is just like using Credit Card services, a payment option available for a
person. It can be said that CC might put you in bad habits. It can be
misused. Precautions should be taken. Yes. True. But still the CC system
is in place. Depends on the person and how he uses it, if at all used in
first place.
Hmmmmmm.....
