Way back in 1968, Edsger Dijkstra almost caused a riot at the ACM conference. His audacious crime? "Use of GOTO considered harmful." No one there could imagine writing code without GOTO's. Yet, of course, within a few years, GOTO-oriented programming faded away, replaced by structured, modular, and object-oriented programming. Structured programming has become such the mainstream that we don't even refer to that feature of the language anymore: we never say that C is a "Non-GOTO" language.
