I never use goto, continue or break (except on switch)
and I try to have only one exit point on the functions,
at the end (sometimes I get lazy).

"goto", "continue" and "break" should be removed from the language.

break on switch should be implicit
and case should handle multiple values "case 1,2,1024,8:"

but, of course, that can't be done... :(

I thought we had goto, continue and break just to support conversions
from older languages but I've seen it used on new code!
I'm very desapointed...

<joke> the D compiler should also limite the number of lines in a function/method, let's say 50</joke>

I use goto all the time and I'd be pretty disappointed if I couldn't use it
anymore. goto is just easier in my opinion. You can directly do what you
want without having to rethink a loop or indent a ton of code for a new if
statement. I don't recall having goto be a problem for me; but I usually
code alone.
People say they hate goto; well, I hate goto haters :) just kidding.

Yea i noticed alot of gotos in ini.d ;) ( Very cool module btw!)

I think goto is a good tool to use when appropriate, i think goto got alot of flack from languages like basic where all of the flow is based on gotos!

Browsing through your the ini I understand what you mean. We just think differently, no I don't mean we have different oppinions, I mean: our thought process is really different.

Hey, friends all the same!
