Yeah I know. I've heard it a zillion times before.
"Any language that uses a 'goto' is one that is screwed up".
But hey, there are times when the evil is required.
I recall a scene from a movie.
Dozens of federal agents armed to the teeth break into a hacker's
residence.
He's busy trying to erase all of his hard work so they have no evidence.
"No you got it wrong boy. We're not here to bust you. This time. We're to
hire you!".
Purely for the drama of course.
