Nullary Sources

Ticket filed on PHP’s bug tracker in 2009:

PHP 5.3 includes goto. This is a problem. Seriously, PHP has made it this far without goto, why turn the language into a public menace?

Some amusing comments on it, especially this one:

Surely if a programmer manages to mess up the use of this, he/she must be a complete nit·wit…

I can’t recommend anyone to mess up their code with a million goto’s but, it may be useful.

if you don’t want to take on the task of determining how, when and when not, to make use of certain aspects of a language, it really is your own loss…

You are then, beyond help.
