While “Goto Considered Harmful” (Dijkstra, 1968) is one of the most famous pieces of writing in Computer Science, its enduring relevance to programming languages is almost wholly unappreciated or — at best — misunderstood. Historically, supporters and detractors from the original letter have addressed themselves to the conclusion that use of the goto statement should be avoided. (Including Knuth [1]) Depressingly, it took over two decades [2] before anyone bothered to empirically test Dijkstra’s claim. To the best of my knowledge, no-one ever disputed, supported, or merely considered Dijkstra’s premises and form of argument.
