   @condret @kirby idk it's been drilled into my head that gotos are evil and it makes following the control flow confusing and it's like eval you should never ever do it

     @MercurialBuilding @condret if you're in function hell it would be very annoying to return constantly.
     
     You could use an assert too, but if you're in a scenario where you can't use them for some reason gotos save you

     @kirby @condret why have a goto error instead of just return 1

     @kirby @condret Ah in our class we're not allowed to have nested functions, stack frames being bloat apparently
     
     I wanted to kill myself when I was told I needed to implement AVL tree deletion without using a stack or recursion

     @kirby @MercurialBuilding @condret I swear to god if i see anyone using a goto statement in 2023, im going to make sure they never work again. Just learn proper control flow homie :^)
     
     Heres the GOATs take on them

     @MercurialBuilding @kirby @condret throw it in the trash and use a skip list
     
     they're probablistically optimal without the complex rebalance functions

     @icedquinn @kirby @condret It was for a school assignment. Had to create an AVL tree data structure from scratch with all the operations.

     @condret @icedquinn @kirby Anyways I'm eternally on the edge of dropping this class because it's prevented me from making any progress whatsoever on either of my two theses

     @kirby @MercurialBuilding @condret @kirby @MercurialBuilding @condret
     
     i imagine K&R added it to their book as they wanted it to be part of the C spec to help the Basic and Cobol developers to find some familiarity.
     
     The issue with goto's primarily that it can interact with stacks in odd ways, and almost any wanted use of a goto could be better defined with a function (with the added benefit of allowing value return)
     
     They can also fuck up alot of compiler optimisation (albeit through lack of use)
     
     Id seriously consider not using goto's unless your code is architected in such a way that you cannot not use them and you don't have the time to refactor your code to be friendlier to stacks
