"goto" was a concept that was defunct in the 70's. I used goto's when programming in "basica" and on an Apple IIe. But even then you never used "goto =" for anything.

goto is still a useful programming construct. The fact that you are not aware of when a well placed goto will make your program more readable and faster reflects your lack of knowledge in the field of programming. When Edsger Dijkstra wrote his famous paper about goto he was clearly referring to a programming paradigm, not the particular functionality of goto. Even setjmp() and longjmp() in C have good uses.
