what's the motivation for removing `goto`, is this something that you find being abused? I code in c++ for work, and I almost never see anyone using it without a good reason.
My personal opinion is that a programming language should instead of 'goto', have explicit constructs for those things that 'goto' is most often used to emulate:
• Breaking out of nested loops
• Clause after loop that has run to its end-condition without a break, return or throw. Python allows an 'else'-clause after a loop, but IMHO "default" would be a better keyword.
• Error handling (C++ has exception handling already, but there are alternatives)
Yeah, I'm curious about this as well. I know the Go and Lua creators explicitly included goto in their languages, saying it can be useful if used carefully.
