TIL that C# and Java have a goto statement.
Forget about goto, the latest version of C# introduced what's essentially comefrom.
Please don't link to medium articles. That page is terrible to visit.
Looks fine on Firefox on Android with uBlock Origin. 🤷♂️
I'm running exactly the same and it doesn't look fine on my end.
Huh. Maybe it's NoScript, then.
Could be. I'm getting forced to make an account and such. That's why I hate medium.
To be fair,
awaitis a bit more likecomefrom, and it's been around for a few releases now.async/await was introduced in version 4.5, released 2012. More than a few releases at this point!
How is
awaitlikecomefrom, any more than threading is likecomefrom? The variable context is preserved and you have no control over what is executed before theawaitreturns.What...? That is a terrible idea.
It's scary as fuck, yeah, but, to be fair, it's only intended to be used by code generators, and it's quite awkward to use outside of them.
Java doesn't. Well, it's a reserved keyword but it's not implemented.
Yeah but we got labels with continue and break, so we can pseudo goto.
Following that logic
if,elseandwhileare also "pseudo goto" statements.There's nothing wrong with conditional jumps - we couldn't program without them. The problem with goto specifically is that you can goto "anywhere".
