''Part of'' KeywordsCategory

== Description ==

D supports goto (but you're not required to use it).

== Example ==

Purpose:    Shows the usage of goto and labels.

Why goto is part of the D programming language...
* goto is part of C, so it can facilitate porting of C/C++ code.
* goto is easy to implement.

Why you should avoid using goto...
* If you use too many goto's you can run into the spaghetti code syndrome.
* Using goto can make the code more difficult to understand for yourself and other.
* Usually, there's an easy way to do it without goto.

In the end, it's each programmer's choice, but I think that goto use should be minimized.
