There are some crimes in development that are just so evil you don’t even mention them by name. Using the GOTO keyword is the first of them.
I have just been handed a piece of code to review, the very first line was the label and I instantly stopped. I haven’t seen labels in code for 10 years. I quickly scan down the code and there is it.. GOTO. I didn’t even bother running the code I just closed the project. Just looking at it makes me feel dirty.
Yes the GOTO keyword is in C#, but that doesn’t mean you should be using it. In the same way the barrel of a gun fits nicely in the mouth doesn’t mean that is where you should put it.
