Duff's device.
According to Wikipedia, Duff's device (about which, until just now, I
knew nothing) can be implemented without goto. Then again, this might be
due to "features" of C++ that are not present in D.
In any case, isn't it the job of the compiler to unroll loops? Why
should the coder have to do this himself? Unless of course he's using a
thin shitty wrapper over assembly language that claims falsely to be a
high-level language - i.e. C.
It was a high-level language at the time it was created.
