reconsidered version 0.9.1 has been released! * <https://github.com/jimwise/reconsidered> * <Author:: Jim Wise (mailto:jwise@draga.com)> * <Copyright:: Copyright (c) 2012 Jim Wise> * <License:: 2-clause BSD-Style (see LICENSE.txt)> Reconsidered adds a vital and sorely missed language feature to Ruby: the well known and widely loved GOTO operation. As discussed in Donald Knuth’s seminal paper _Structured Programming with go to Statements_ (see REFERENCES in the README), GOTO can be an important part of your structured programming toolkit – but it has not been available in Ruby until now. However, this implementation is itself severely limited – it only allows execution to jump to a point in the program which has already been passed during execution of the program; it is thus less general purpose a tool than the true GOTO of languages such as Fortran. Changes: ### 0.9.1 / 2012-10-05 * Minor documentation updates
