Is it ok or even necessary to use goto in D?
It's best viewed as a compatibility or micro-optimization feature. For structuring code, D obsoletes goto with nested functions, scope statements and labelled break and continue.
Most experienced D programmers use scope statements and labelled break/continue to replace goto with great effect, but sometimes the same programmers can still be seen using goto when a nested function would really have solved the issue more structurally, so I recommend experimenting with nested functions if they are unfamiliar to you.
