Continuing an outer loop from an inner loop

[August Karlstrom]

Total nonsense. Convoluted loop conditions blur the meaning. break and
goto significantly simplify such constructs.

With brakes and gotos you cannot use loop invariants.

Loop invariants are only useful inside ivory towers.

Well, brakes and gotos are only useful inside jerk stores.

I find brakes quite useful inside cars.

This was mostly a silly joke from my side.

You're clearly an amateur hacker if you really think that.

No, because a hacker is the very opposite; it's someone who uses and
misuses every feature of the language.

goto is a basic of any computer science and is more "absolute" than
anything else.

Yes, but at the ISA level.
