goto considered alright in my book

So, who else finds goto useful in the right circumstances and isn't afraid to use it despite the stigma if it makes the code more readable and explicit?

Write better code

goto
more explicit

continuations considered harmful

It's more explicit than just falling out of a loop, which, when nested, can become messy fast

Not using goto means you listen to idiots who listen to Dijkstra. The myth is that only bad coders use it. The reality is that only good coders users.

With exceptions. I've seen people using C++ like batch scripts, 100% gotos, all in main.

>>7
Who are these people? Surely anybody who thinks C++ is BASIC doesn't actually work as a coder, right?

It was just some windows user on a forum somewhere writing a text based RPG. Clearly he'd only just moved on from DOS and had only read a few pages of sicpcprogramming.com. It was actually quite amusing; it both reminded me of the good old days of `hacking' my school's server using [code]explorer //[serverdir][/code] and it was great fun to know there was somebody so inexperienced so my massive memory leaks didn't look so bad ;-;

But that was a long time ago.
