People want to believe that Haskell is a better language than C, but how could this possibly be true when Haskell lacks the very basic "goto" feature??? If the world is going to take Haskell seriously, then this serious blight needs to be addressed immediately! Thus I proud to present to you the "GotoT-transformers" package which provides this missing functionality and so finally makes Haskell a serious contender with C. To be honest, when writing mutually depending functions that extensively rely on tail recursion optimization, this often looks a lot like GOTO already.
True. I guess we should make sure that nobody tells Dijkstra about Haskell then. :-) Cheers, Greg
