    Realm[^]:

    In this GOTO Copenhagen 2016 talk, Mads Torgersen invites you to play around in the key of C#, see why it’s not your uncle’s, and discover where the language is headed.

    "Take another look. Please another look."

    Probably nothing new here for people (especially if you're already using C# and looking towards 7), but handy all in one spot.

      Our coding standards clearly state that we should avoid "GOTO" :thumbsup:

        Ah, yes, blind adherence to bureaucratic policy. The bane of human existence. Actually, GOTO is sometimes the better, more elegant solution.

          Sometimes it may be a good idea to sit back and not jump to conclusions. How many goto's have you used while doing C#, JavaScript or SQL queries?

            The last goto I used was in 1993, in some C code. The last I saw was in 2010, in some C code written by an otherwise brilliant hardware engineer.

                  One. Because it was the right tool for that job. Is it considered that evil, that I feel the urge to justify myself for using it?
