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
