Hmmmm

I was told in 1986 when I worked at Boeing, never to use "GO TO"'s.  I have had this discussion off the list.  I have written a few languages and have compiled the following list.

Language     USE of "GO TO"

COBOL         It's a sin, some use it to exit paragraph but I won't.
PASCAL        Never
C                  Never
COGNOS      There is not one!
ADA              Never, poor coding practice
VB .NET        Use EXIT SUB, IF etc...(never)
FORTRAN     Yes
SPEEDWARE ??


Thanks
