[TUHS] The origin of Goto considered harmful?

[TUHS] The origin of Goto considered harmful?

[Bakul Shah]

Last night I stumbled upon this speech by Doug McIlroy at Dijkstra's retirement banquet @ UT Austin where he tells the story of his first encounter with EWD and the origins of programming without goto.... Given that we recently had a discussion on "Goto considered harmful", you all may enjoy it. Make sure you watch the start of part 10 as well as that is where the story ends.

An intracardiac heart injection of adrenaline!
(Later medical studies seem to contradict the original thinking of
its usefulness i have heard (a bit).)

  #?141|kent:plan9port.git$ git grep goto master|wc -l
...
  echo 2MzQ1Mwo= | openssl base64 -d

(Obscured for the highly sensitive (the "h" in "tuhs") among the
audience.)
