Auf dem VCFe zeigt Stefan Höltgen warum Real Programmers noch immer GOTO sagen dürfen und warum Dijkstra vielleicht einfach nur keinen Vintage Charme verstand.

Today I'm going to #Munich for the @vcfe where I'm exhibiting early #Atari home computers, giving a lecture on the #GOTO controversy and holding an editor-editorial meeting about the next volumes in the #ComputerArchaeology book series. As the icing on the cake, swap (my) #THAT analog computer for a Leyboldt-Haraeus #AnalogComputer.
Slides from @mtaht's amazing talk at #GOTOConferences 2024 in Chicago are here:

Okay, I've gotten back to #BASIC, and this time I dug deeper. Seems like there are means of abstractions after all. There are one-liner functions (DEF FN) and multi-line subroutines (GO SUB & RETURN.) So I can actually structure my programs without #GOTO-s! Maybe I'll implement #ed in BASIC after all...
oh, you’re a minecraft hacker? how about you #goto some_bitches
Just another 4-letter word?
"Is it an accident that 'goto' has four letters?" (M. E. Hopkins: A Case for the #GOTO, 1972, https://doi.org/10.1145/800194.805860)
In 1985 Konrad #Zuse gave an interview to the German magazin #DerSpiegel where the #GOTO problem was discussed:
A very nice paper on 4 taboos of #programming (explicit control transfer [#GOTO], low-level programming [#assembly], #flowcharts, and global variables) - with a neat theoretical background in #anthropologic taboo theory.
Tracing back #programming language history to the root of the very first (mnemonic) #GOTO instruction (jump/branch) I found two different sources:
1. In 1954 Nathanael Rochester developed the "first" mnemonic #assembler for the #IBM 701 #mainframe computer that uses "TR" jump commands: https://shrtn.escalar.pt/ZuE5
2. In 1947 the "manual" for the #Whirlwind computer contained the "sp x" mnemonic: https://shrtn.escalar.pt/FdYC
So, which one was actually the "first" to use mnemonics for branching?
I think the #BASIC RETURN command is the root of all #SpaghettiCode evil! It works like a #COMEFROM (https://shrtn.escalar.pt/OXnO) and hinders you to understand the code on the first sight (without reading it closely and executing it mentally). A friend suggested to change its function to RETURNTO. 😅
Tracing the #GOTO, GOSUB, RETURN, ON GOTO and THEN [Line Number] movements of the #BASIC interpreter through a #game for the #C64 from 1983 (Source: N. N.: "Grips". In: Homecomputer, August 1983, S. 14f.)
