Reply to comment by Sloloem in ELI5: why is using "goto" considered to be a bad practice in programming? by Dacadey
Yes. IOW, Goto is a primitive instruction not too far removed from the assembly language -- the native language of the chipset itself. As programming languages get more sophisticated, the need for goto goes away. The fact that most languages still have a goto instruction is really more about history than function.
