"Goto's won't die" paper review

This paper tries to convince us that the well-known goto statement should be eliminated from our programming languages or, at least (since I don’t think that it will ever be eliminated), that programmers should not use it.

More than 10 years of industrial experience with Fortran have proved conclusively to everybody concerned that, in the real world, the goto is useful and necessary

I am confident that, 30 years from now, the goto will still be alive

I find that incredibly amusing Let’s see where the programming world goes in the next 30 years As you see, we can’t be sure that everything is going to be like right now. I’m even pretty sure it won’t be
