GOTO is not evil, but can, if you do it "wrong", result in code that might be hard to read. For example, in C you can do like this: if (a){ goto a_label; } else { if (b){ switch(c){ case 1: puts("Hello"); break; case 2: puts("Yo"); break; a_label: puts("Tjena"); break; } } } And that is *not* a good structure of the program. In Gambas, you are not allowed to jump into a control structure like this, but only jump out. As long as the code has good structure, I see no problems with Gotos. And sometimes Goto is needed to get a good structure.
