In this video, we go over a brief history of the infamous go to statement, the unconditional jump construct present in earlier programming languages like : Fortran, Algol, Cobol and later on relatively younger languages like c, c++ and go. We talk about the famous go to statement considered harmful paper by the computer scientist *Edsger W. Dijkstra,* and how it may have contributed in the reduction in appeal and popularity of the go to statement among developers in the software industry as a whole. We discuss the reasons why the use of the go to statement is now treated as a code smell and whether this approach / mentality is warranted in the production of reliable and bug free software. Thoughts?
