Wow, the comments on this post really do sum up his points in this article. The whole article isn't about goto at all, but about programming myths and how they perpetuate and how HN is just allowing us to be more lazy by only reading the titles to posts. Why is nobody discussing the actual intent behind this article, which is how myths and, slightly related, programming myths begin and propagate throughout our education and culture.

Instead, ITT, gotos are bad and here's why, gotos are ok and here's why, gotos are good and here's why.
