C is crap

The next time I hear some idiot say ``an array is just a pointer'' I'm going to write an OS in Haskell and remotely install it on their computer.

The Algol and PL/I goto and Lisp's tagbody/go unwind the stack to the correct point.
These were universally considered to be gotos several years before C or setjmp/longjmp existed.
Landin's paper was about interpreting the goto in Algol 60 in lambda calculus, including non-local gotos, using continuations.

"setjmp/longjmp" had to be invented because C doesn't have nested procedures.
We get to that same thing about limitations in C confusing people again, but this time it's goto.
