There is a new respectability for the humble GOTO C Strachey and C P Wadsworth. Continuations: A mathematical semantics for handling full jumps. Technical Monography PRG-11, Oxford University, Computing Laboratory, Oxford University, England, 1974. formalised the GOTO statement into the theory of "continuations". Continuation points are highly useful after arbitrarily complex code has inserted itself into the flow (inversion of control etc). Processes can usefully have savepoints etc. It all leads to things like "Delimited continuation theory" that gives more autonomy to individual processes to negotiate amongst themselves, which in turn leads to a radical new kind of web server with vastly more comprehensible code. (in the meantime just remember that the url you are sending that form to is a glorified goto label. Chuckles.)
