VB (and BBC Basic) have procedual and loop statements, that if used
properly negate the need to scatter GOTO statements around the
source. I can write a program in VB that would be structured
identically in C (or whatever) just replacing little bits. No
references to line numbers required.


Does the use of GOTO matter much - or at all - with modern compilers?

I ask as I thought that modern compilers broke stuff down into control
structures so they didn't care if you used goto or cleverer stuff. But
pl bear in mind that for me "modern" is anything after the mid-70s ;(
