It reminds me of a paper by Knuth, where he states that "goto" statement is necessary; don't remember the title, however. I don't remember needing a goto in Haskell...
Well, for imperative languages, of course.
I think my point is that it requires a narrow definition of imperative language; you don't need gotos if the other control structures are rich enough¹, imperative or not. [1] the proof of which is, allow first-class functions... -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk
