- Hello all,
-
- Though I'm only an insignificant little voice without a tremendous
- cult following, I can't resist opening my mouth when it comes to
- goto's. Then I shut up and wait till a Pascal vs. C debate occurs.
-
- So then, for all you goto fans: why don't you just write in assembly?
- At least you'll get blazing speed and a fabulous excuse. Otherwise,
- I can't understand why you'd want to use the ugly things; structured
- programming pretty much abolished them just as OOP is pretty good
- at eliminating the ugly "if(), else if(), else" business.
-
- Basically, goto's and if's aren't aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes,
- you can tell a lot about something by the impression it leaves on the
- subconscious. Goto's make my unconscious go "ugh!". I guess you
- should use the proper tool properly to properly do the proper job.
-
-
- Just my silly opinion,
-
