Dogmas in development..

“I think gotos are fine and they are often more readable than large amounts of indentation."

- Linus Torvalds. Context: http://kerneltrap.org/node/553/2131

(Stolen from CodeWisdoms twitter feed)

 

Linus attacking the now classic dogma of Edsger Dikjstra's 1968 paper titled "Go To Statement Considered Harmful"..

 

Linus has a point, because everyone can write shitty code with or without the goto-statement, everything has it’s time and place. Question and refactor your knowledge every once in a while, the earth used to be flat.
