"I am trying to stop writing code that uses 'goto'...."

Hang in there.  I never understood why spaghetti code with 'goto' was
bad while macaroni code with recursion was ok.

The students who ingored their professors on this went on to become
programmers with Intel, IBM, and Sun, where the base languages all
have goto (jmp) instructions.

I don't think it's the vocabulary that makes code hard to maintain--
it's the 'features' such as object-orientation that demand wordiness
and encourage code bloat.
