Original author here. This was a handout for a computer science colloquium talk that I gave many years ago.

It's fun to see this show up on Hacker News, and thank you all for not holding it to the same standard as a proper academic paper!

Thanks for a great article/talk!

Many people misunderstand the goto debate and I'd like to point them to the great Knuth article for a summary but I can't; it's far too long and contains a lot of implicit context of its time. Now I have something much better to, well, ask people to go to.
